As in \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Holocaust\u003c\/i\u003e, she creates a hybrid narrative that braids techniques of journalism, biography, and memoir, and provides a new perspective on the social and cultural history of Jewish women of the 19th and 20th centuries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"With this family history, Epstein adds a vivid and telling chapter to the reconstruction of Jewish women's history, one life at a time. The settings range from the Bohemian town of Brtnice; to the Belle Epoque Vienna of assimilated Jews; to newly independent and cosmopolitan Prague in the 1920s, where Pepi ran a fashion salon; to Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and finally New York. It is a compelling account, one that any woman trying to recover her history will value.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"In Epstein's expert and sensitive hands, truth becomes not only stranger than fiction, but more magnetic, wise and powerful.\" - \u003cb\u003eGloria Steinem\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Written with her superb talent for storytelling, her tale is profoundly human.\" - \u003cb\u003eElie Wiesel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Plunkett Lake Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50388002799890,"sku":"9798985192513","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_48fd7248-f6ee-4333-ae12-56243fcbaba8.jpg?v=1728885902","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/where-she-came-from-a-daughters-search-for-her-mothers-history-9798985192513","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
