Abandoned
Abandoned
Forgotten Stories of Love and War
By Joseph Pivato
Feeling abandoned is one of the emotions that is part of the immigrant experience, both for those who leave their home country and those who are left behind. In Abandoned: Forgotten Stories of Love and War, some stories may be true, others recollected from faulty memories and others made-up. The author can no longer tell which is which. In some of the stories collected here we may never know the truth. It is lost forever.
