| Summary: | "No wonder Michelle Friedman became a psychiatrist -- she started young. A child of Holocaust survivors, she grew up on a Catskills chicken farm, absorbing a legacy of trauma, displacement, and family violence. In this illustrated memoir, Michelle weaves together hair-raising stories of her parents' wartime survival with vivid memories of life on the farm in Divine Corners, a remote Borscht Belt hamlet and an unlikely home for cultured Polish Jews raising three children. Her unflinching yet loving inquiry explores Jewish identity, resilience, and what makes one person break while another survives." -- |
