Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17
American-born Catherine knows little of her Croatian mother's early life. When Marijana dies of ovarian cancer, 22-year-old Catherine finds herself cut off from the past she never really knew. As Catherine searches for clues to her mother's elusive history, she discovers that Marijana was orphaned during WWII, nearly died as a teenager, and escaped from Communist Yugoslavia to Rome, and then South America. Through travel and memory, history and imagination, Catherine resurrects the relatives she's never known.

Kapphahn has created a layered, vivid emotional journey that bridges continents and spans generations in narrative threads that speak to the search for identity and meaning in all of us. This is why words are put to the page: to explore universal themes that echo in our hearts, reminding us of the profound connections we share regardless of geography and the age in which we live. Readers will all find themselves at home in this masterful work of art.
