"[This book] chronicles Kirsten's remarkable, decade-long quest to understand and heal the transgenerational trauma of war on her family. Using historical accounts, interviews and extensive archival research, Kirsten movingly reconstructs scenes of violence and heroism in the lives of everyday people, most notably the extraordinary women who came before her. After years of emotionally intense research reconstructing her mother's and grandparents' past, Kirsten takes Joasia to Poland to uncover the origins of their pain."--
