Historia
American-born Catherine knows little of her Croatian mother's early life. When Marijana dies of ovarian cancer, 22-year-old Catherine finds herself cut off from the past she never really knew. As Catherine searches for clues to her mother's elusive history, she discovers that Marijana was orphaned during WWII, nearly died as a teenager, and escaped from Communist Yugoslavia to Rome, and then South America. Through travel and memory, history and imagination, Catherine resurrects the relatives she's never known.

Filial Love Delivers a Great Story
Revisado: 03-19-21
Immigrant Daughter is an exciting journey that explores the enigma of identity and lineage. When her mother died young –when the author was only twenty-two—the mysteries of her mother’s past haunted and impelled her search for understanding. Traveling over three continents and three generations, Kapphahn unspools the origins of her own story. Her mother was born in Croatia and was raised during the Cold War by her grandmother. Kapphahn seamlessly weaves the imagined and the real as she uncovers political and thrillingly romantic stories from Europe to South America to the United States. The passion of a daughter’s love is the current that runs through a masterful and fascinating story of patient research and revelation. It is intimate and compelling and very rewarding—an unusual memoir.
Additionally, the author reads her book artfully and it is a pleasure to spend time in her company.
