About this book and its author:
Soon the Sun Will Come Up is the painful but triumphant story of a family that fled Afghanistan
during the Soviet invasion of the 1980s. From a prosperous middle-class community, a young woman, her
husband and newborn baby were forced to leave their home in search of liberty. Under cover of darkness,
through perilous and arduous routes and conditions, they escaped over the Afghan border into Pakistan
and ultimately made the journey to America. This is a true and inspiring story for teenagers who value
learning what price refugees are willing to pay for their freedom.
Farida, who works as a para-professional in an elementary school, says the inspiration to write this book
came from two colleagues back in 2009. She gives special thanks to Linda Shropshire and the late Marianne Goldacker,
both of whom encouraged her to write about women in Afghanistan.
Farida Walyzada is a first-time author who has told her personal story for the benefit of teenagers.

Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across the World
A Unique Collection of 31 memoirs by grown grandchildren about the strong bond
and positive influence of their grandmothers
Merry Adler, Author, Collector, and Editor
Cover design by Merry Adler
Illustrated by Natasha de Francisco
Published by Marble House Editions, hardback, 204 pages,
March 2019, ISBN 978-0-9966224-4-8, $16.95
About the author:
Merry Adler was inspired to write this book some four decades ago because,
as she states, "Nana had the most positive influence on my life. She was loving, positive, modern,
tolerant of everyone on this planet and believed in the love of work and family."
Her book is the culmination of a vast amount of work done with great passion.
You might be interested in this relevant
article about Merry,
from the
GW Alumni News.
A few reviews from readers:
"This is a real treasure of a book and a tribute to all grandmothers. It is a book of 31 well written and touching essays
written by grandchildren about their beloved grandmothers from throughout the world. You will laugh and cry as you read these
moving and heartfelt essays. Grandmothers hold a special place in our hearts and this gem of a book captures that place and
so much more. You will feel the love and strong bond between grandmother and grandchild as you read these delightful memoirs.
I highly recommend that everyone should read this book! You will be inspired by positive memories of your own
grandmother." — Elaine Maruca
"I am very honored to have participated in writing about my childhood memories of my grandmother in Merry Adler's book,
Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across The World. Merry has compiled 31 memoirs of delightful stories written by mostly
women and a few men from all around the world. Not only are the stories tenderly reflective and heart-warming, but this book
is a good read for those of us baby boomers who greatly adored our grandmothers, and for this young generation to learn how
very much our grandmothers influenced our lives. The cover is exquisitely designed by Natasha de Francisco, who intuitively
and creatively understood the author's vision for this wonderful book you are sure to enjoy reading and recommending to many
others." — Dr. Jeanne Sheffield
"This book will warm your heart with diverse, meaningful stories. Each story reinforces the importance of a grandmother's love.
Every story is special in its own way. You will find yourself smiling, laughing, and crying from the touching words about each
grandmother. The author did such a nice job including stories about grandmothers from various places and walks of life.
This book is a must have!" — Danielle Amodeo Caulfield
"Merry Adler's book, Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across The World, is a heart-warming glimpse into the memories many
of us have of the love and influence our grandmothers had on our lives. While some of the stories are humorous, others are
deeply moving and all give lessons on how they have touched so many of us. This is a great read to just pick up and 'drop
the needle' to read a myriad of stories from mostly adult grandchildren and their many experiences.
Highly recommended!" — Wayne Estrada
"Many touching stories...several of them brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. If you loved your grandmother,
you will treasure these memoirs! Well worth the read — I loved it!" — Sharon Overholser
"What a wonderful book. The stories reminded me so fondly of both my grandmothers who were always there to provide support
and warmth as I was growing up. Ms. Adler does a great job of bringing together that serve to guide me in my new role as a
grandparent and relations with my grandchildren. So a 5-star recommendation for any grandparent or those who want to reflect
on what our grandmothers meant to us." — Bernard J. Horak
"If you never had a relationship with your grandmother, you may find one to adopt in this uniquely wonderful, soulful book.
This is a lovely collection of memoirs by mostly adults, one teenager and a few children under the age of 10.
There is a cross-section of cultures and experiences in these stories. Some are historical, others humorous, some are
privileged, other grandmothers had very little means. Some are safe and secure, others are trying to survive revolution
and war. All are candid, unique to each grandchild and truly heart-warming." — Karrol D'Amalio
"Reading this book about so many different grandmothers was, for me, like receiving a warm snuggly hug from across time and
distance. No matter where the grandmothers were from, or their backgrounds, the love and caring shine through to the
grandchildren. The stories were so interesting, each individual experience being told from a unique viewpoint.
It makes one realize the power of a grandparent's influence in a grandchild's life. I will be much more aware of my own
influence upon my grands and try hard to create a legacy similar to the ones in this book — a high honor
indeed!" — Rebecca Feldman
"This book captures the essence of grandmothers; who they are, where they come from, what made them special, and why they
are so important to each of us. I enjoyed reading about the common traits so many have; like a fierce devotion to their
family and a strong determination to take care of their own. Plus, apparently most were really good cooks!
Each grandmother is very special to each author in their own way and that is evident in the passages.
Especially poignant are the chapters highlighting words from small children talking about their Nana's.
Too cute!" — Arthur C. G. Hyland

grandfather Jim, had a dream. Patrolman Jim was an African-American pioneer in the New
York City Police Department. Ione's dream was to tell Jim's and his son Lester's story. Today,
because of men like Jim and Lester, nearly 27% of the police officers in the NYPD are
African-American men and women. Mission accomplished, Ione!"
— Steve McDonald, retired NYPD detective

Clara grew up around the time of World War I, in a poor
Jewish community in Russia. Family life was filled with
hardships. Clara wanted to go to school, wear fashionable
clothes and live a better life. And although there
were many obstacles to this dream — the loss of her
mother, soldiers who occupy the family's home, and a
very difficult trip across Europe, Clara and her younger
sister eventually made the long journey to America.

From Dachau to D-Day
A Memoir by Werner Kleeman with
Elizabeth Uhlig
Published by Marble House Editions, paperback, 322 pages,
August 2007, ISBN 0-9786745-3-7
For ages 16 and up.
About From Dachau to D-Day:
As the 19-year old son of a prominent German Jewish family, Werner Kleeman
was a victim of Kristallnacht. He saw the betrayal of his Jewish
neighbors as fellow villagers gleefully destroyed their homes and
property. He was sent to Dachau, but by the grace of a family friend,
was released after six weeks, and left Germany for good.
As a new American, Kleeman was drafted and sent overseas to participate
in the D-Day invasion. The end of the war brought him back to his own
hometown, where he confronted the wreckage of the Jewish community.
Denouncing those citizens who participated in Kristallnacht, Kleeman
redeemed at least some of the suffering of fellow Jews.
This story spans a lifetime, reaching back before the war and beyond the
war's end. It tells of how one individual used life's circumstances to
contribute to the betterment of those around him.

of. Her mother means well, but will not tell Rose anything
about her heritage. Every day is a challenge for this teenager,

accepted. The frustrating mystery that has been haunting
Rose unfolds in a surprising way, as unforeseen and

fall completely into place, just when they thought they didn't
fit in anywhere.

About The Iris House: Sixteen-year old Jessie
Chamberlain longs to be like other girls her age, but
she knows she's different because she has never been
able to speak! While Jessie is trying to cope with the
challenges that all teenagers face — making friends,
doing well in school and just being happy — she finds
herself in the middle of a terrifying mystery...she is
being held captive by nightmares in which she is
another person from another time! The key to this
puzzle lies in the dilapidated old house on the hill that
seems to draw Jessie in so powerfully every time she
passes by.
But there is a solution to Jessie's problems. Each
chapter of The Iris House offers a clue to how Jessie
will resolve all the loose ends in her life and finally
find the answers to her frustrating circumstances as
well as the happiness she is seeking.
