520    After the death of Joanie Holzer Schirm's parents in 2000,
       she found hundreds of letters, held together by rusted 
       paperclips and stamped with censor marks, sent from 
       Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, China, and South and North 
       America, along with journals, vintage film, taped 
       interviews, and photographs. In working through these 
       various materials documenting the life of her father, 
       Oswald "Valdik" Holzer, she learned of her family history 
       through his remarkable experiences of exile and loss, 
       resilience and hope. In this posthumous memoir, Schirm 
       elegantly re-creates her father's youthful voice as he 
       comes of age as a Jew in interwar Prague, escapes from a 
       Nazi-held army unit, practices medicine in China's war-
       ravaged interior, and settles in the United States to 
       start a family. Introducing us to a diverse cast of 
       characters ranging from the humorous to the menacing, 
       Holzer's life story is an inspirational account of 
       survival during wartime, a cinematic epic spanning 
       multiple continents, and ultimately a tale with a twist-a 
       book that will move readers for generations to come.
