Testimonials

Like many migrants from Europe in the 1950s, Mother could not speak English. The women who lived through that time suffered hardship due to a lack of language and work skills.

The author is highly insightful into the human experiences of love, its breakdown, the hurt of loss, and the process of adjustment and recovery. The book is a deeply moving story in that it covers the perspective of all main characters involved, and thus, it is a gripping read from start to finish.
