About the Author
I was born in a Displaced Person's camp in Germany after World War II. My parents were among the millions of Poles who had been taken from Poland against their will and made to work in Germany as forced laborers. Our family immigrated to the United States in 1954 and I grew up American with its popsicles and roller skates but also with the language, customs and traditions of Poland. In 1980 I visited Poland for the first time and it changed my life. If there is a constant thread that weaves itself through my adult life, it would be my passion for Poland - its customs and traditions, its culture and its history. It is the basis for all my writing.
