During this mini episode we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Christine Skarbek and her book “Confronting Power and Chaos: The Uncharted Kaleidoscope of My Life”
What’s in a name?
Her trailblazer of a distant cousin forged a solitary, singular path during and after WWII. Unassuming and somewhat clueless, Christine eventually finds she has to do pretty much the same. A teen fully expecting her Midwestern life would be drab and ho-hum, she meets in Germany an elderly man who offered her a ride – and insight into a legacy she was going to rely on throughout her entire life.
Discussion Points:
- Christine Skarbek her namesake during World War 2
- Struggling with divorce and children health concerns
- Writing a screenplay and pitching it to Hollywood
- The recession creating a new path and opportunity in Poland
- Finding strength from her role model
- Guns in America
