In The Lost Family, Blum depicts a tale about love and loss through one family that spans a generation. In 1965, Peter Rashkin is Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor. His popular restaurant is named after his wife, who was murdered, along with his two children during the Holocaust. Wracked with guilt from surviving Auschwitz, Peter prefers a solitary life until he meets a stunning, young model. Their whirlwind romance transforms into Peter’s second chance to have a family.
