"Salamon's memoir for and of her parents is honest, true, deeply touching."
Judith Dunford
"This is a compelling story of discovery. On one level it is the author's discovery of her parents' past, but on a deeper level it is the story of a child of survivors learning that she cannot get on with her life until she has come to terms with what is not only her parents' story but also her own."
Judith Dunford
"Beneath [Salamon's] girlhood's 'Norman Rockwell trappings' lay the tragic past her parents hid from her, a past she painstakingly reconstructs in this deeply affecting memoir."
