“By combing through all that information and then reconstructing the work into a four-decade, cohesive narrative, my goal was to chronicle their lives with historical accuracy in even the finest details. . . . Now, after three generations’ time, this is finally their story.”

-Alisa Statman

“Because of what my mother and grand- parents instilled in me, I live my life daily fighting for what is right. By publishing this book, and sharing our story, I hope that readers will benefit from our experience, and perhaps in my own little way I will also help others by bringing about a bit of peace to the restless souls who follow our journey.”
