of
Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory:
"This is probably the best book I've come across that has to do with the generational trauma of genocide. The author's parents were both survivors of the Holocaust and the story is mainly a memoir of growing up a 2nd generation survivor. She also weav"

"Thank you Elizabeth Rosner for this riveting book. I picked it up after hearing a talk she made as part of a writing course.
I find the notion of « being born into memory » is intriguing, as is the field of epi-genetics. The book is organized around " Read more of this review » |

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it's got to be the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”
I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.”

Thank you, Jan, for your kind note. I'm working on that next book... and eagerly awaiting the paperback release of BLUE NUDE this September.
