Reborn as the Phoenix: With Illustrations

"Reborn as the Phoenix" is a heartfelt memoir chronicling the incredible journey of a woman who escaped the oppressive grip of Romanian communism to build a new life in America. Through harrowing challenges and life-altering events, her unwavering faith and the kindness of strangers guided her path to freedom and hope. This poignant narrative is a testament to resilience, the power of faith, and the transformative impact of human compassion.

Going from a childlike wonder to abandonment by family, to discovering school and friendships and the overarching divine guidance, to surviving a brutal regime and finding her footing in an entirely alien world, the author recounts her struggles and joys in a lyrical, unique and sometimes a tad foreign voice- one we can all relate to. Because, at the end of the day, this is a story of humanity through darkness and triumph.
