by Miriam Kurtzig Freedman (Author)

A daughter tells her mother's remarkable coming-of-age story as an immigrant striving to realize her full potential.
Thea Arons' life is a lesson in resilience. Raised in Holland in an assimilated Jewish family, she moves to Palestine for adventure and love. She finds both in a man named Paul and marries him against the backdrop of World War II.

But when she is widowed early, Thea is driven to move forward even as she grieves her unfathomable and untimely loss-driven by her dream to get her children to the land of opportunity-- America. From Palestine to Holland for the visas, Thea and her two young children ultimately arrive in America. There, embracing the challenges of a new culture, she makes it good and thrives-harnessing her faith and optimism.

Through her authentic personal writings and diary entries, Thea's stories show readers that pressing through tragedy beyond her control was the surest path to surviving with joy.
