"A fascinating, well-written work describing Anna Spector's life in a Ukranian shtetl during the early 20th century and her escalating tribulations in the violent political turbulence. Dr. Coben's standard for verification of Anna's account is both stringent and prodigious. The scope and particulars of shtetl life are detailed with cogency and scholarly authentication."--Joann Rose Leonard, author of The Soup Has Many Eyes
"Wondrous. . . . What makes [Anna] Dien's story truly remarkable is her uncanny memory and her ability to recall minute details about events."--West End Word
"Using hundreds of interviews . . . Coben has created a fascinating account of Anna's childhood in the shtetl in Korsun, Ukraine, telling the story from her birth in 1905 through her immigration to America in 1919. This biography is especially rare because there are very few firsthand descriptions from this time and place written from a female perspective. With remarkable clarity and detail, Anna describes the relationship between Korsun's Jews and Christians, both in good times and later, as she and her family became victims in several terrifying pogroms. The story of the long journey that finally takes them to America is a page-turner that keeps the reader's attention to the very end. Highly recommended."--Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
