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.

Poignant read
Revisado: 10-25-21
Every book I've ever found worth reading has been full of passages or moments that make me stop and reread them. Moments that are beautifully worded, or particularly poignant, or heart wrenching. Passages that I want to underline and return to, or read to a friend. Of course, this is trickier with an audiobook...
Catherine Kapphahn's Imigrant Daughter had me pausing to run such passages over in my mind. Her memories with her mother are vivid and warm, and I found myself thinking of my own mother, who also died too young.
It's a comforting and lovely read, and I thank the author for giving us the experience of living her memories and journey with her.
When I finished the book, I promptly bought it for my mother in law, a voracious reader. I know she will love it.
