Broken Dreams: A Survivor's Story

The physical and psychological damages of war can manifest themselves for several generations. This book tells the story of a family that experiences such aftereffects. At the heart of the book is the problematic relationship between the author and her adoptive mother, who felt obligated to raise her dead sister's child. The story culminates in the author's discovery, after more than seventy years, that she has a loving half-brother who is still alive.
