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.

This powerful gripping emotionally charged narrative provides insights of a family who have experiences that will shake each family to the core…. People who themselves are migrants or who have experienced the death of a partner at an early age.. or who have a parent with mental illness will instantly identify with the situation in Calel.
