The young man finds himself incarcerated in Zamrsk, a brutal correctional facility when he is caught with anti- communist paraphernalia and protesting against the disgraceful communist regime.
A man with charisma and charm, yet void of a heart fulfilled, Jarek would search all of his life for his beloved mother attempting to fill the emptiness that devoured him. It is not without much perseverance, mind bending trauma and an outright will to fight for what he believed in that Jarek , finds a way to his own truth and peace of mind. Along the way, he finds the answer to his internal turmoil and with the help of his beloved Vera...finds infinite peace.

While her longing to bring closure to her father's memory, Jarmila (Jaime) had not only chosen to tell her father's troubled yet fascinating life story, but endeavors to bring him, her mother ; as well as others some peace …knowing that in the end, we all have the ability to create our own truth and our own endings. Those of which that we can live in peace with.

About the author

I've been a RN for over 24 years and love the flexibility, challenge and fulfillment that it allows me to have. The myriad of intimate experiences with both colleagues and patients has provided me with a wealth of not only knowledge but insight into so many diverse and unique instances of so many lives. I enjoy writing and imparting information in a light manner so as not to always burden my readers with difficult details and try to put a positive spin on any situation. I started my first book a year after becoming a full fledged nurse and continued throughout many experiences and changes to our technological, environmental, political and social evolvement. I would recommend my book to new healthcare students, novice nurses and others who would like to learn of the inner systems or workings of the healthcare system in order to successfully advocate for themselves and their loved ones . I truly enjoy writing and have almost completed my second project which will be out early next year. This time around I have completed a book which has been a bit more challenging both psychologically and spiritually as it is a heavier read and encompassed a great deal of research . "Jarek" An An Assassination of the Mind and Soul …the work transcends the readers into the life of a young boy throughout his journey from Nazi brutality and Communist Rule and how he finds a way to resolve his soul . It is a love story and a story of courage and sustainability of the mind and heart and how a daughter completes his passage to peace and justice. I currently work as a clinical supervisor and balance my job with my beloved family life …that which I adore and am certain sustain my aspirations.

Sorry this review took so long.I would like to give thanks to Goodreads, Publishing company, and Jaime Wisnowski for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. OMG, this book is amazing. The author tells the story of Jarek and the journey through hell and back, and all he had endured through his life growing up in war-torn time. This book was very educational, compelling, and intriguing. There is so much history to take in for a small novel.The details of events were shocking, and how, some people are so evil. I highly recommend this book. With permission, I will be reading this book to my high school students and making an assignment.Thank you again for the privilege of reading your book.

[Trisha Hatfield · Rating 2 out of 5]

The plot of this book was decent but the grammar, spelling and consistency was horrendous. The wrong words were used, names were changed, paragraphs ran on and on. If the grammar were fixed, I'd probably give it 4 stars, but I struggled to read because of the poor grammar, spelling and misused words.
