**THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
Their dance is set. They re-create a family, but Channa’s emotional foundation causes her to pass along wartime fears and trepidations to their five children and forces Nathan to constantly prove his allegiance to her. This fertile ground was ideal for perfecting submergence of feelings, hurts and a distorted view of love and family loyalties. When Mom unexpectedly dies her children must finally confront reality . . . and the bad blood begins. When the battle finally ends and the smoke clears we are all too aware of the illusion we all seemed to share.
Broken Birds, illuminates the positives and the negatives that occur in life, love and family. The trials and tribulations of Channa and her family touch the reader and cause them to ponder their own family patterns, evaluation, dynamics and weaknesses. Is then up them to try to affect a change, while they still are able.
About the Author: Katzir become a woman strained by opposing allegiances with the family that raised her and the family she was creating.. It wasn't until Katzir's mother unexpectedly died that Jeannette began to recognize how far the shadow of the Holocaust had stretched into her life. To deal with her loss, she began writing a book that told the story of her mother, whose life was forever marked by the Holocaust. She lives in Southern California with her husband.
Review: This is one of those books that once you start reading, you will not want to stop! The story of Katzir's parents making it to this country alone is an interesting read and one that will bring the horror of the Holocaust to a personal level. The ongoing story up til her mother's death will have echoes in most family dynamics. I think anyone with siblings will be totally able to relate and share the pain of Katzir's family. You do not want to speed thru this book, you relish the author's way with dialogue and descriptions! This is an enjoyable read and one I highly recommend!
