The Pages In Between: A Holocaust Legacy of Two Families, One Home

The Pages In Between: A Holocaust Legacy of Two Families, One Home Review

In a unique, intensely moving memoir, Erin Einhorn finds the family in Poland who saved her mother from the holocaust. But instead of a joyful reunion, Erin unearths a dispute that forces her to navigate the increasingly bitter crossroads between memory and truth.

To a young newspaper reporter, it was the story of a lifetime: a Jewish infant born in the ghetto, saved from the Nazis by a Polish family, uprooted to Sweden after the war, repeatedly torn away from the people she knew as family -- all to take a transatlantic journey with a father she'd barely known toward a new life in the United States.

Who wouldn't want to tell that tale? Growing up in suburban Detroit, Erin Einhorn pestered her mother to share details about the tumultuous, wartime childhood she'd experienced. "I was always loved," was all her mother would say, over and over again. But, for Erin, that answer simply wasn't satisfactory. She boarded a plane to Poland with a singular mission: to uncover the truth of what happened to her mother and reunite the two families who once worked together to save a child. But when Erin finds Wieslaw Skowronski, the elderly son of the woman who sheltered her mother, she discovers that her search will involve much more than just her mother's childhood.

Sixty years prior, at the end of World War II, Wieslaw Skowronski claimed that Erin's grandfather had offered the Skowronskis his family home in exchange for hiding his daughter. But for both families, the details were murky. If the promise was real, fulfilling it would be arduous and expensive. To unravel the truth and resolve the decades-old land dispute, Erin must search through centuries of dusty records and maneuver an outdated, convoluted legal system.

As she tries to help the Skowronski family, Erin must also confront the heart-wrenching circumstances of her family's tragic past while coping with unexpected events in her own life that will alter her mission completely.

Six decades after two families were brought together by history, Erin is forced to separate the facts from the glimmers of fiction handed down in the stories of her ancestors. In this extraordinariy intimate memoir, journalist Erin Einhorn overcomes seemingly insurmountable barriers -- legal, financial, and emotional -- only to question her own motives and wonder how far she should go to right the wrongs of the past.

Wounded Children, Healing Homes: How Traumatized Children Impact Adoptive and Foster Families

Wounded Children, Healing Homes: How Traumatized Children Impact Adoptive and Foster Families Review

Why doesn’t our child return our love? What are we failing to understand? What are we failing to do? These questions can fill the minds of adoptive parents caring for wounded, traumatized children.

Families often enter into this experience with high expectations for their child and for themselves but are broadsided by shattered assumptions. This book addresses the reality of those unmet expectations and offers validation and solutions for the challenges of parenting deeply traumatized and emotionally disturbed children.

Family Friendly Farming: A Multi-Generational Home-Based Business Testament

Family Friendly Farming: A Multi-Generational Home-Based Business Testament Review

Saving the landscape, rebuilding entrepreneurial rural families, and protecting nutritious food are the themes of this timeless treatise-hence the word "testament." Delving into the soul of the Salatin family's nationally acclaimed Polyface Farm, author Joel Salatin offers Family Friendly Farming as the key to dealing with resource issues, food policy, and social fabric.
With humor and personal stories, he opens his family and farm convictions for all to see, share, and enjoy. Written from his unabashed "Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist" perspective, his ideas are guaranteed to encourage and challenge virtually every "ism" in the culture. It will captivate anyone passionate about healing the land, healing families, and healing the food supply.
For several decades young people have been leaving the family farm. The ones left behind are now responsible for society's greatest resources: clean land and clean food. Anyone dedicated to preserving these resources will find in these pages a nongovernmental, self-empowerment approach to environmentalism and food safety.
The heart of this book is aimed toward parents tired of their Dilbert cubicle at the end of the expressway who want to reconnect with their children through a pastoral lifestyle. It's written for anyone who yearns to grow old working with and being adored by value-sharing grandchildren and honored by passionate, productive adult children. Family Friendly Farming can make any family business more viable and any family more functional.
The ten-chapter section on how to get the kids to love the farm is an invaluable addition to any collection of child-rearing manuals. Salatin moves from the family team-building section into a practical discussion on how to increase income per acre and create new, white-collar salaries without buying more land, equipment, or buildings. He deals with the unique and thorny issues surrounding any family business by using his own multi-generational family farm experience as his base for insight and wisdom.

Please Come Home: A Child's Book about Divorce (Hurts of Childhood Series)

Please Come Home: A Child's Book about Divorce (Hurts of Childhood Series) Review

Home: A Child's Book about Divorce (Hurts of Childhood Series) (Hardcover) Like all of Doris Sanford's books of her Hurts of Childhood series, this book deals kindly, sensitively, and personally with divorse. The book is about Jenny whose father and mother fight, then her daddy leaves them. Her teddy bear takes on the role of comforter and confidant as she shares her feelings, worries, and desires. What is most wonderful about this book is the way it adresses the feelings that children go through in this situation without preaching, blaming, explaining, and most importantly without a specific timeline. Far too often books seem to indicate to children that they should be over it all in a week or month, whereas this is far from the reality. It also covers many of the situations common to all divorces: mother dating, the child's often love/hate feelings toward their absent parent, the change in finacial status post-divorce, school performance dropping, and the remaining parent spending less time with them. There is also a list of suggestions to parents in the back of the book, one example of which is "tell the child how you feel even if you can't fully explain the feeling. Let him see you cry. Say 'I'll talk about it when I'm able.'" A must for any therapist who deals with children regarding divorce, and extremely helpful for children going through divorce themselves.
