About this ebook
Born Under a Bad Sign
During the Second World War, as the Nazis began their nine-month blitz over Britain, a young woman is evacuated from London to escape the violence and preserve the growing life inside of her. She safely delivered an infant girl on New Year's Day in 1941. To escape the reign of Nazi terror and antisemitism, they separated the baby, Sylvia, from her family, who remained with her beloved auntie throughout the war.
In 1945, her parents returned her to London to begin a new life with a family she barely knew. This is the true story of Sylvia's journey and triumph over a life marked by adversity—escaping the horrors of the Second World War and rise in antisemitism to find an unwelcome entry into America followed by a life of abuse, heartbreaking loss and more.
Chains of War is Sylvia Harkins' powerful story, as written by her daughter, from her humble beginnings as a Jewish child during the uncertainty of Nazi terror, Sylvia's story is ultimately one of triumph and the power of inner strength to move forward no matter the obstacle.
