Three decades later, Diana discovers her grandmother's journal, which gives her a window into the unknown events of Regina's tumultuous life, including surviving World War I, the heartbreak of being orphaned, and the pandemonium of events during her immigrations from Poland to Austria to France and finally to the United States. Diana draws strength from her grandmother's example, which sustains her when she receives some of her own shattering news. To share her personal story, Diana must first tell Regina's. The end result is a unique braided narrative, with excerpts of Regina's diary interwoven with Diana's own life experiences, creating a portrait between granddaughter and grandmother, their past and present, loves and losses, and the discovery of their shared legacy.[5] Awards
