Описание: Dream in a Suitcase unravels a fast-paced journey of survival, resilience, and the power of love. It is the first English language memoir of a female Romanian-American survivor of the worst communist dictatorship behind the Iron Curtain. The story offers a rich multicultural mosaic of a life divided not only between two cultures and languages, that of the heroine`s native Romania and her adoptive US but also between Chicago`s urban culture and that of a small town in Virginia marked by a heavy confederate history. This book is deeply relevant for our times as it offers an opportunity for American-born audiences to develop a deeper understanding for all those who arrived in this country as refugees in search of freedom, peace, and different versions of the American Dream. ENDORSEMENTS: "An extraordinary memoir of fortitude and freedom, a narrative that is vibrant and lyrical. Radulescu takes us from Romania`s dark dictatorial past to the world of literature and beauty, back to the landscapes of her beloved native country, then to her new home in America, and always to the geography of the earth. This is an extraordinary read and a covenant to the power of truth and words." Marjorie Agosin, award-winning author of I Lived on Butterfly Hill. "Domnica Radulescu is a courageous writer. Dream in a Suitcase, like her other novels, is a breathless read." Andrei Codrescu, NPR commentator, award-winning poet, and filmmaker.

Описание: The author wrote Masked Munchkins " during the Covid-19 pandemic to help little ones, two to six years old make sense of their changing world. She was especially inspired by a story on the news of a two year old not wanting to wear a mask on a plane. The childs upsetment ultimately led to the family having to exit and miss their trip. The book easily explains in simple words and childlike illustrations why their world is so different due to a virus. Children do much better if they can be very prepared for changes in their surroundings and what is expected of them. It was the authors goal to achieve this level of understanding in the minds of an inquisitive child.
