by Miriam Kurtzig Freedman (Author)

"A historically valuable and visually stunning collection of personal musings...."
- Kirkus Reviews

Told by her daughter, Thea's life is a lesson in resilience. Raised in Holland in a comfortable middleclass family, Thea moves to Palestine as a young woman, seeking adventure and love. She finds both in a man named Paul and marries him against the backdrop of World War II and the turmoil in Palestine, soon to become Israel.

But when she is widowed early, Thea moves forward-even as she grieves her unfathomable and untimely loss- driven by her dream to get her young children to the land of opportunity: the United States of America. Through faith, grit, and unyielding optimism, she embraces the challenges of a new culture and thrives.

Thea's incredibly powerful and inspiring story is based on authentic personal diary entries, writings, newspaper clippings, and photos found by her daughter in boxes tucked away in the attic.

About the Author

From boxes of diaries, newspaper clips, scribblings, and photographs, Miriam Kurtzig Freedman has, with love, great insight, and honesty, written her mother's adventurous and fearless life story across continents, languages, and cultures. A lawyer, Miriam has authored many books in the fields of law and education. Boxes from the Attic - An Immigrant's Story, is her first memoir.

Miriam's hope: "I hope that reading Boxes from the Attic inspires you, too, to explore the boxes and treasures in your attic or wherever they are, and unlock your personal and family stories."
