Overview
The Fortunate Ones: From Despair to Hope By: Margaret Conger As a student nurse, the author had an encounter with a Polish Jew who had been separated from his wife during World War II. His wife escaped from Auschwitz and was hidden in a convent until the end of the war. They met by accident after the war and emigrated to the United States. A sweeping and emotional tale, The Fortunate Ones goes on to explore how immigrants adapt to a new life and establish new families. The authors hope is that readers will develop empathy for immigrants and see how, with support, these people can become productive members of this country. This is especially important now as we are experiencing another wave of immigrants from a war-torn country.
