Synopsis (From Amazon):
Stella’s journey from Thessaloniki, Greece to America begins with a
pre-dawn taxi ride that she and her sister share while the coffin
holding a loved one rides along in the taxi’s trunk. Orphaned and
separated from her younger sister “for her own good” as the culture
dictated at the time, Stella ends up being adopted by a Greek couple
that had emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts in the US. At age 11, she
overcomes multiple losses and cultural differences to find a place in
her new homeland, while finding ways to stay connected to those she
loved in Greece.
This story of resilience and perseverance follows Stella’s journey of
becoming an “Amerikanaki” and eventually reconnecting with her sister,
who had stayed in Greece with her own set of adoptive parents. Even as
Stella embraces her new life and culture in America, she rebuilds her
loving relationship with her sister after an eight-year separation.
Later in life, the sisters take another taxi ride together, this time to
recover important details of their birth parents’ life stories that
mirror the determination to survive and thrive that marks their own.
