GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket This is a true story of a courageous woman who survived a hellish twentieth-century nightmare. Mob violence, injustice, kidnapping, murder, and suicide were the black holes in the awful astronomy of Elaine Gere's life. Somehow she had to summon the courage to endure: to honour her beloved dead husband and to rebuild the shattered lives of the sons who depended on her strength. By viewing the world through Elaine Gere and her devastated family, Jack Olsen finds the core values that enabled them not only to survive and flourish, but to triumph.
