NYT Bestselling author Tilar J. Mazzeo writes of Tara Lynn Masih's MY REAL NAME IS HANNA, a powerful literary debut for young readers: "My Real Name is Hanna is a beautifully told and deeply moving novel. Masih is to be commended for shining light on a little-known piece of Ukrainian history and for portraying a Jewish family determined to survive the Second World War. This novel is about the stories that surround and sustain us in the darkest times-from the histories in the trees and in the ground beneath us to the words that feed us."Helen Maryles Shankman, a 2016 B&N Discover Great New Writ...

Helen Maryles Shankman, a 2016 B&N Discover Great New Writer and a finalist for the 2016 Story Prize, writes: "Tara Lynn Masih's lovely, lyrical novel made me feel like I was reading a part of my parents' story that I'd neglected to write. Filled with breathtaking you-are-there historical detail, filigreed with touches of Jewish and Ukrainian folklore, Masih's tale of a young Jewish girl hiding out in the caves and forests of the Ukraine is a worthy addition to the canon of Holocaust literature for young readers. As fine, delicate, and artful as a painted pysanka egg."
Hanna Slivka is fourteen when German soldiers arrive in 1940s Kwasova, a village that is sometimes Russian, sometimes Polish and sometimes Ukrainian but where Hanna and her family have always been first and foremost Jewish. Until their arrival, Hanna has split her time between exploring Kwasova with her younger siblings, sharing drawings over lunch with the sweet and shy Leon Stadnick, and assisting her neighbor, Mrs. Petrovich, with her annual dyeing and selling of psyanky, decorative eggs many in their community consider talismans. But before long, she, Leon and their families are forced into hiding, first in the woods outside of their town and then into caverns beneath it. At no time are they more tested than when Hanna's father - briefly above ground to scavenge for food - goes missing, and suddenly, it's on Hanna to find him, and to find a way to keep her mother, brother and sister alive.
MY REAL NAME IS HANNA is inspired by the true story of Esther Stermer and her family, who survived underground for 511 days, far longer than anyone ever has; expert cavers, by contrast, have only lasted a handful of months. Less than 5% of the Jewish population in Ukraine survived the Holocaust "Actions." The Stermers are one of the few families that remained intact. Their story is the focus of an award-winning documentary, No Place on Earth, but it - like so many Ukrainian stories of the Holocaust - has yet to be explored in literature outside of Esther's own self-published, difficult to find memoir.
Tara Lynn Masih is the editor of two small press bestsellers, the Field Guide to Writing Fiction and The Best Small Fictions 2015. She has won four book awards, including a Skipping Stones Honor for an intercultural anthology, The Chalk Circle, and she's the author of a critically acclaimed short story collection, Where the Dog Star Never Glows.
