Praise for Through the Eyes of Rita "Through the Eyes of Rita is a riveting memoir that reads like a movie brimming with stories of childhood innocence, family, war, escape, love, loss, scandal, and resilience. ... through the perspective of a four-year-old in Eastern Europe. As WWII breaks out ... we experience her journey of heartbreak, joy, wonder, terror, and eventually relief as she and her family end up in Bavaria after the war ends. Ten years later ... the author ventures to America to stay two years, learn English, and return. What she doesn't see coming is her life being disrupted again, pulling her into a loveless marriage ... Not letting it deter her, she forges on raising three children, learning English, and working full time. ... The author demonstrates fortitude and resilience while never losing her sense of humor or her capacity to love. Truly inspiring. A must-read ...!" -Laura DiMinno, Huffington Post
