Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up with only one aunt on my mother’s side of the family, and I was curious about the significance of this difference. The election in Quebec in 1976 involved three political parties, and the victorious party was a separatist party whose goal was for Quebec to secede from Canada and operate as an independent country. #2 I had a close relationship with my grandmother, who was a survivor of the Holocaust. She had given birth to two daughters, who in turn birthed her five grandchildren. She was a great-grandmother to even more little human beings. #3 I would occasionally experience impatience with my children when they would complain of being starving. I would remind them that they were not starving, and I would explain how their great-grandmother once spent fifteen days hiding in an attic with hardly any food or water. #4 My grandmother, who was not particularly religious, asked her great-grandchildren to recite their Torah portions for her before she died. She seemed at peace. She had learned not to give up, and she was proud of them all.
