What would you Sacrifice to escape the inhumane torment and suffering of a World Gone Mad under Soviet brutality? What would you be willing to do save your family from the agony, anguish, and outrageous, cruel, despotic actions of the Soviet Army?
BITTERSWEET FREEDOM unfolds with heart-wrenching honesty, as the author, JUDITH BOGNAR BEAN lays bare her heart and invites the reader into the “Once Upon a Time World,” of her family’s fist-clenching life story, as she details her family’s unworldly struggles, conflicts, faults, joys, and failures, ungrudgingly taking the reader into the most private, intimate labyrinths of her family’s world.
BITTERSWEET FREEDOM’s sweeping allegory peels back seven-decades of the lives of the author’s family: from the shores of Europe to the shores of America, telling the mesmerizing tale of young, star-crossed lovers caught up in the turbulence of World War II and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
BITTERSWEET FREEDOM is a magnificent story that is both a memoir and biography embedded with accurate historical accounts, entwined about the many atrocities suffered by her parents (as children) during World War II in Hungary, as well as the unimaginable horrors inflicted upon the Hungarian people during the 1956 Revolution.
