A story of family dynamics - Joanna Daneman - Middletown, DE USA
Jeannette Katzir wrote the story of her Momila, her mother, who survived the Holocaust and went on to raise a family in the US. As is often the case, sibling rivalry has the fans flamed by the desires of a mother to support the weakest bird in the nest. Jeannette's will causes a family war that splits the family apart in ways that are instructive.

This is a great memoir about a post-WWII immigrant Jewish family, but it's also a very good memoir about family dynamics and issues that span across generations and are as relevant today as sixty years ago. After you read this, you may re-evaluate your relationship with your parents and siblings, and you probably will be thinking about your own family. Hard to read because of the pain and difficulties each person causes each other, but really instructive, too. A very insightful book.
