His practice has taken him to several international venues, including villages in Poland that inspired his first novel, Once We Were Brothers.If you have read many novels of the Holocaust, you might pass on this one, if you have not it is a rare "uplifting" story of bravery and luck by a survivor. The third in Balson’s promising series about a husband-and-wife investigation team specializing in Holocaust cases. Her videos on YouTube and other media sites have been viewed well over 1 billion times and she has been featured on the Ellen show. LIAM LOVED CHATTING WITH Catherine’s secretary, a fiery Latin from Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, who ran Cat’s office tighter than Patton ran the Third. The author had to respect the genesis of the story and use factual information and details and that may have led to the flatness (as other reviewers have noted) of the writing.

In less than 4 years her fan base has grown into more than 10 million followers, in over 50 countries.Catherine and Liam come to her defense stating she is not mentally impaired, and her narrative is well structured, organized, and details. If this had been purely fictional I would have worried more about the lackluster writing and "telling vs showing" style that I really do not enjoy. With a home from home atmosphere, you'll have a sofa-bed, TV and dining table in the open-plan lounge.

This is a fictionalized account of the true story of a survivor named Fay, and that is why it rates 4 stars vs 3.In telling her story to Catherine and Liam, Lena not only exposes the realities of overcoming the horrors of the Holocaust, she also comes to terms with her own connection to her dark past. During the Once We Were Brothers book tour, Ron was introduced to several survivors of the World War II concentration camps. The courtroom case added a drama that needed to come to light regarding the abuse of the elderly by their children - in this case for money or other reasons. So many people were forced to live in small areas, not just Jews from Chranow, but refugees from other towns.

Readers who crave more books like Balson’s Once We Were Brothers and Kristin Hannah’s bestselling The Nightingale will be enthralled by Karolina’s Twins. I wish I had known from the beginning that the historical portion of the book was partially based on a real person.Re-telling your nightmare of living in occupied Poland during WWII would stir up emotions that I would want to forget, but Lena Scheinman Woodward wanted it told.
