A young immigrant's war-weary life in Greece during WW II, his challenging life in America, the history of Greek immigration to the USA, the history of modern and ancient Greece, Hellenic historic events, and much more... Torn between his love of his motherland, Greece, and his adopted land, America, Thanasis Elias Vavaroutsos recounts the horrors of living in war-torn Greece and the strife of daily life in a city under the rule of Hitler's army, starvation, and an agonizing civil war. Simple pleasures and a loving, close-knit family kept a young boy's dreams of America alive. To readers of Hellenic descendency, this book will bring both tears of pain from the knowledge of the suffering of Greek ancestors, but also joy and pride at being a part of Hellenic heritage, of the brave men and women, their sacrifice, endurance, and love of country. To all readers, this book will serve as a reminder of what our ancestors have done to pave the current road of life that we travel in America. This is the story of one man, still torn between two loves---two countries---a primer on the history of Greece, and a revelation of the immigrant's struggle to be accepted in a new country.

The history of the United States of America is a patchwork of stories experienced and told by many over the years of the Republic. The stories although universal for what America has represented to different groups (hope, renewal or opportunity) are not the same in every case. My story is a variation on the theme. The child of single mother of fi ve; who left behind all that was known to them, was a choice taken for him. Through circumstances out his control after unexpected events of his life the child goes on a quest to fi nd himself and discovers so much more. The journey is on going.

In this memoir, Bachleda makes a personal story a universal one, sharing the most important lessons that are born of hardship and struggle—determination, love, faith, patriotism, and an enduring belief in the power of family. The story of his family's immigration to America from Czechoslovakia is set against the backdrop of larger historical events—from World War II to the Vietnam War—and considers the price that must be paid to live the American dream.The story begins much earlier, however, when his father Anton is forced to flee to America to avoid being arrested and put into debtor's prison, leaving behind his pregnant wife, Mary, and their five young children. Several months later, Mary gives birth to their sixth child, a boy named Stefan. Now, Stefan gives a firsthand account of the family's trials and triumphs, struggles and successes, and above all, their love and faith.With Mary and the children struggling to survive in Czechoslovakia, Anton has immigrated to America in the middle of the Great Depression. He lives with an elderly widow and sends Mary very little money, but as the family endures extreme poverty, they maintain their steadfast faith in God, finding solace and the ability to carry on despite their hardships. Eventually, their prayers are answered. When the elderly widow is on her deathbed, she offers to provide the money to allow the rest of Anton's family to come to America. But despite their hopes for a better life, their struggles do not end—poverty has followed them, and now, coupled with language barriers in the Bronx, Anton descends further into alcoholism and abuse. And soon, World War II comes to the family.Despite feeling hopeless at times, the family never gives up—and now, Stefan looks back on his life and the lives of his family warmly, appreciating the many opportunities that continue to come his way and developing a strong sense of patriotism for the United States—and a belief in the enduring power of the American dream.

Susan Gabori has woven the narrative of each character in the Pace family from interviews she conducted with Italian immigrants and their families to present an illuminating picture of people who, faced with a seemingly insensitive environment, must find a way to survive without sacrificing their dignity and pride. Each person finds a different way to hold on to some of the old while adapting to the new. With In Search of Paradise Gabori promotes a deeper understanding of and respect for the immigrant experience. The characters given a voice are Vincenzo, the father, Teresa, his wife, and their children, Franco, Roberto, Angelina, and Michele. Separated by Vincenzo's search for work in Libya and later by World War II, when the children are sent to a fascist school in Northern Italy and Vincenzo is sent to fight the British in Africa, they attempt to retain the bonds of family and culture. Reunited after the war, the economic climate in Italy forces Vincenzo and Franco to leave for Canada in 1950 in search of a better future. They are eventually joined by the rest of the family in Toronto.

"Sometimes immigrants must share their experience with the people who are fortunate enough to reside in their countries of birth. Not just to take off the load from their shoulders, but to make the others aware of the plight of hundreds of millions who leave their countries annually worldwide. I'm one of those immigrants. In this collection of twenty-one stories, I share my own experience and the experience of others like me through the lives of my composite protagonists"--
