A Tapestry of Immigrants (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In psychology, 'mother love' is defined as a protective and possessive affection which a mother will typically display towards their child throughout their life. Most of our stories have come down to us through our mothers and grand-mothers. Throughout history, men seek to leave behind a son, whose name they will bear. As mothers, women seek to pass on to their daughters the very fabric of their hearts - knowledge, belief, and behavior - the very essence of what it means to be 'family.' This book was written with a daughter's heart, preserving the stories of those who left no daughters behind to tell them: brave men, who fought for their beliefs, and braver women who shared the journey of the immigrant in a new land. It is not a strict genealogy in the sense of twenty generations 'who begat.' It is a tapestry of the heart, one life stitched to another through the bright floss of the years.
