You have learned some Yiddish,
now,  would you like to meet my Jewish family?

Broken Birds, The Story of My Momila, is my achingly honest memoir of the enduring effects of war.  From my  parents' harrowing experience during the Holocaust to my own personal battles, I exposes the maladies of heart and mind that those broken by war inevitably and unintentionally pass down to the generations that follow.

World War II has long since ended, and yet Jaclyn and her brothers and sisters grow up learning to survive it.  Having pulled through the Holocaust on the principle of constant distrust, their mother, Channa, dutifully teaches her children to cling to one another while casting a suspicious eye to the outside world.  When Channa dies, the unexpected contents of her will force her adult children to confront years of suppressed indignation.  For Jaclyn and her siblings, the greatest war will not be against strangers, but against one another.
