In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Week my ebook Of Bitter Herbs and Sweet Confections (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1729756050) is free on Amazon from January 21-25.
Kirkus Reviews: An illuminating contribution to Holocaust literature and a riveting family drama.
Of Bitter Herbs and Sweet Confections is a fictionalized memoir, based on real-life events and experiences. The story presents the journey of Tanya, a Jewish teenager, as it unfolds over a ten-year period from 1939 to 1949. Forced to flee their Polish hometown in order to escape the Nazis, Tanya and her family wander from place to place, trying to keep one step ahead of the German army, until they fall into the hands of the Russians and are exiled to Siberia.
Having survived hard labor in the frozen north, Tanya's father relocates the family to central Asia where they live out the final years of the war. On her return to Europe, where she encounters the atrocities committed during her absence, Tanya finds the inner strength to help those whose war time suffering has been even greater than her own. This "truth is stranger than fiction" novel-cum-memoir is a heartrending and heartwarming coming of age story which opens a window into a lesser-known side of this horrific chapter in history through a young girl/woman's eyes.
