Review Imbi s story, written by Nancy Burke in great detail, gives the reader a deeper understanding of the impact World War II and the Soviet and Nazi Germany occupations had on Estonians.�The book is a valuable addition to the literature that has appeared since the collapse of the Soviet Union.�-- Ilvi J�e-Cannon, co-editor of Carrying Linda's Stones: An Anthology of Estonian Women s Life Stories. --Pre-publicationThere are so many statistics I could cite that would illustrate the brutality endured by people living under occupations by both Hitler and Stalin. Imbi Peebo's story, written by her friend Nancy Burke, cuts right through the clutter of history's recorded facts, to reveal a very human story of survival under those dark circumstances. While Imbi is not alone in that experience, her story represents tens of thousands more people....all whose stories deserve to be heard.�This is a good place to begin to listen.�-- James Tusty, co-filmmaker, with Maureen Castle Tusty, of The Singing Revolution and To Breathe As One . --Pre-publicationNancy Burke offers a significant contribution to the literature of eye-witness accounts with her beautifully written story of Imbi Peebo Truumees' life as an Estonian child refugee during World War II. Burke writes Imbi's story with great care and suspense that strikes a perfect balance between descriptions of place and event, childhood pleasures and overwhelming fears. The reality of what happened during the war years can only really be glimpsed through those who lived through it and understood their experiences.� Imbi is a brave and perceptive person, and Burke gives her the justice she deserves.�-- Alice Elliott Dark, Professor of English and Creative Writing, Rutgers Newark MFA in Creative Writing Program, author of Think of England, In the Gloaming, and Naked to the Waist --Pre-publication Read more About the Author Nancy Burke holds a MFA in Creative Writing from Rutgers University, Newark, and a BA in Anthropology from Montclair State University.
