Candles is the story of Anya, a young girl who lives with her parents, her brother and two dogs. She doesn't much like Chanukah and would rather celebrate Christmas as her friends do. Receiving an old Menorah from her grandmother for Chanukah only increases her dissatisfaction, as she would rather be given a CD player like her brother Steve. But lighting the first candle opens a different world for Anya, as she is transported back to Nazi Germany before World War II. During the lighting of the candles on successive nights, Anya relives the experiences of Estie, a young woman whom she comes to believe is her grandmother. As each successive candle is lit, another scene from the past unfolds. And as the novel progresses, Anya grows more convinced that she is reliving the life of her grandmother. She experiences a new understanding of her own faith. But Candles has a provocative twist in the tale.
