Polish American Historical Association’s Journal Review
(An academic journal focusing on Polish history and culture with reviews by distinguished scholars and historians.)
“Urbikas seeks to shed light on uknown Soviet atrocities… At its core, however, lies an ‘intertwining tale of a mother who saves her child’ and ‘a child who saves her mother.’ …Urbikas’ voice becomes the counterpoint to the voices of Janina and Mira… for an ambitious and dense narrative. …unabashed and, at times, self-disclosures [which] amplify the impact on critical developmental milestones of the life cycle… Urbikas’ endurance in empathetic realization allows that ‘my mother’s ordeals did that of my children.”
