Waiting for Eli is a historical mystery surrounding the Friedman family's emigration to the United States from Germany in 1933. The layered plot weaves together events in everyday life and creates a complex tapestry that reaches into the past. Events that unfold do not make sense and come with a feeling of chilling uneasiness. The story starts as Phoebe attends the funeral of her grandfather in 2005. Directly following his passing, an antiquities dealer is murdered after handling a piece of the family's heirloom ceramics. For the next four years, Phoebe investigates the murder along with her family's connections in Europe. She traces the Friedman 'family business' across four generations, through two continents, five western European countries, and one very important World War. She learns that Friedman Freedom Fighters were embedded in several international cities during this period and traded goods for lives. Phoebe's evolution as a person and as a participant in the family business finds her confidently settled in her grandfather's house raising another generation of Friedman's as time continues to create and cycle her family's legacy.
