"Life is far too exciting to spend time inventing it
instead of reveling in it, so I write creative non-fiction. Real
Life.
"For me, nothing is more fascinating than discovering
that nugget of passion each of us possesses, then finding the words to
share it with the world."

inspired.
A daughter of privilege, a survivor of World War II Poland, an
architect of dreams, Mary Majka became passionately intent on protecting
fragile spaces and species for generations to come. Released by
