IS IT NIGHT OR DAY?

Is It Night or Day? by Fern Schumer Chapman -  For me, this is a companion book to Motherland.  Written as historical fiction, this work looks back at Tidi's life during the time she left her childhood home in Germany at 12 years old, her voyage, and the first years of her life in America.  It's based on the true story of the author's mother's experiences, and it all seems so adventurous until you realize that it really happened, and that these were traumatic events.  Humans are resilient, though.  Edith (Tidi) survived.  At what cost, we found out in Motherland.  I've enjoyed reading these books, and hope that Fern Schumer Chapman will write a third book about the in-between years.  I want to know about the rest of Tidi's life.  I hope we aren't finished!
