- A compelling and well told story!
I just listened to this entire podcast again for the second time. It’s so well done and I love that all three sisters are part of it. Suzi builds suspense as she finds out so many details of her grandfather and grandmother’s lives. I can’t wait for season 2!!

Riveting. She examines her difficult family history during WWII and intertwines it with the family histories of those who were on the other side of the conflict. If you have any compassion for humanity, you will be moved beyond belief.
Apple Podcasts5Arlee CoxUnited States2 months ago - Sensational

Imagine one day finding out the legacy just a century ago- and THOSE are... more
