Rooted in the late 19th Century, growing and flourishing in the 20th Century, and bearing untold consequences in the 21st Century, Selma Silverman's family tree is nourished by the light of familial love, watered by the tragic tears of those who died before their time and honored by events uniquely recounted in Selma's Story. Now in her 90's, the author calls upon her near-perfect photographic memory to bring to life the joys and sorrows that she and her siblings have experienced, allowing the reader (listener) to learn lessons and see perspectives otherwise missed. Such storytelling is the foundation of our culture.
