History has proven that the poor fight the battles for the wealthy.
The wealthy finance the wars to protect their property and
lifestyle, but little is written about the real warriors of time
who were the families left behind to survive on their own. This is
the basis behind creating Dasha and her family, for they are all of
us. Dasha was a fourteen-year-old Russian immigrant when she came
to America in the 1930s. She marries and has six children before
throwing her husband out. The story of her life as a single mother
is told by Leni, her youngest daughter, who describes her childhood
growing up in Brooklyn during the Depression and World War II. This
astounding novel looks at the life of an immigrant who came to
America during some of the hardest times in our history, how she
faced her demons, and how her children survived. About the Author
Violet J. Weiner pursued a creative life after her grandchild was
born. She registered in UCLA's creative writing program and was
probably the oldest person in her classes. She was also the most
insecure, for everyone was on a computer, while she was still using
a pen and notebook. Born in Brooklyn, she lived most of her adult
life in upstate New York, "but I carried Brooklyn with me wherever
I went, for its character and defined street smarts." She worked in
an elementary school in upstate New York as an assistant to the
principal with 750 children to educate, which was a great time in
my life. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/VioletJWeiner
