O knihe

"Ingrid Berzins Leuzy gives life, voice and truth to three generations of women, whose lives were irreparably damaged by the men they chose to marry. Silent Women is a book that is perceptive, touching and graceful and will propel readers to examine their own secrets, and how those secrets hurt the ones we love."
-Alain Zaloum, Filmmaker

"Silent Women encourages truth-telling as a pathway to healing and does so in a compelling & engaging way. For me experiencing the journey from youthful victim to authentic woman-in-the-world was a reason to believe again in the possibility of change."
-Judith Gray M.A Past President Thomas More Institute, Montreal

"The silence in Berzins Leuzy's first book is deafening. Each of the women carry a burden larger than themselves. Silent Women reminds us of the power of the past in shaping our future, and the sooner we have the courage to face the unimaginable, the stronger each one of us will become. This book will not leave you untouched. It will give you hope, but only if we choose to tell the truth."
-Gina Valle, Educator, Editor of Our Grandmothers, Ourselves

About The Author:
Canadian writer and television producer Ingrid Berzins Leuzy, has worked with elderly and disadvantaged women for many years and has devoted herself to telling their fascinating, inspiring, but often tragic stories. Of particular interest are those who have been uprooted from their country of origin through the painful process of immigration. Her stories, whether on screen or in print, explore the universal struggle of trying to age gracefully within a society that does not always value that process and the effort it takes to come to terms with those life events that did not have a happy ending. Ingrid lives in Canada with her husband and has two grown children. She worked in the field of Gerontology for decades before going back to school to study Communications and now divides her time between Toronto where she works and Montreal where she lives.
