Reflections: On Life In This War-Torn World

The idyllic life of a child is turned upside down. Political unrest, upheaval, invasion, abduction, and the horrors of war. Reflections. . . On Life in This War-Torn World is the first-hand story of one woman's experience growing up in Europe, surviving the ravages of war, being displaced as a refugee, and immigrating to Canada. It's a story of courage, hope and faith. This book is written as a momento for loved ones-friends and family, and particularly those of the next generation. "Lest we forget."
