My first draft was a straight telling of Fred's story, and over time, after working with my editor, I came to realize that I was also a character in the story. You can hear more about this here: https://youtu.be/4TJp4obwIE8

Holocaust survivor Fred Terna has often said that living through the Holocaust was luck but living with it takes skill. During a tour of his art studio and archive, I asked Fred about his life immediately post-liberation. He insisted the story wasn’t interesting and politely declined to answer my questions. It’s in that moment that this book was born - to discover and share what those skills are and how Fred came to acquire them.
