Thanks to my friend Ron for making this photo available to us.

A book that touches my heart.

I linked recently to Daiva Markelis's book, White Field, Black Sheep.

If you enjoy the entries here that linger on the experiences of the Lithuanian-American offspring of DP immigrants, then Daiva's book is a "must read."
