Acerca de esta escucha
Winner of the Center for Fiction's Christopher Doheny Award
Shortlisted for the Del Sol Press Prize
American-born Catherine knows little of her Croatian mother's early life. When Marijana dies of ovarian cancer, 22-year-old Catherine finds herself cut off from the past she never really knew. As Catherine searches for clues to her mother's elusive history, she discovers that Marijana was orphaned during WWII, nearly died as a teenager, and escaped from Communist Yugoslavia to Rome, and then South America. Through travel and memory, history and imagination, Catherine resurrects the relatives she's never known.
Traversing time and place, memoir and novel, this lyrical narrative explores the collective memory between mothers and daughters and what it means to find wholeness. It is a story where a daughter gives voice to her immigrant mother's unspoken history, and in the process, heals them both.

Historia
Since coming home to Spirit Bear Point First Nation, Hazel Ellis has been dreaming of an old crow. He tells her he’s here to help her, save her. From what, exactly? Sure, her dad’s been dead for almost two years and she hasn’t quite reconciled that grief, but is that worth the time of an Algonquin demigod? Soon Hazel learns that there’s more at play than just her own sadness and doubt. The quarry that’s been lying unsullied for over a century on her father’s property is stirring the old magic that crosses the boundaries between this world and the next.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

In the spring of 1942, young Elzbieta Rabinek is aware of the swiftly growing discord just beyond the courtyard of her comfortable Warsaw home. She has no fondness for the Germans who patrol her streets and impose their curfews, but has never given much thought to what goes on behind the walls that contain her Jewish neighbors. She knows all too well about German brutality - and that it's the reason she must conceal her true identity. But in befriending Sara, Elzbieta makes a discovery that propels her into a dangerous world of deception and heroism.

But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe’s life is in ruins. Over 150 years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items.

Such is the case with Tania Romanov's story of exile, emigration, and immigration and how native language can be a powerful touchstone for the sense of home. The unrelenting consequences of 100 years of Balkan wars force three generations of Croatian women to flee their homelands multiple times. Eventually, Tania, a successfully integrated American immigrant from Eastern Europe, journeys back to her fractured homeland with her mother to unravel the secrets of their shared past.

A very relatable and moving story. I was so surprised when the story ended. It felt almost like the story was continuing with the authors life. I will be recommending this to others.

Filial Love Delivers a Great Story
Immigrant Daughter is an exciting journey that explores the enigma of identity and lineage. When her mother died young –when the author was only twenty-two—the mysteries of her mother’s past haunted and impelled her search for understanding. Traveling over three continents and three generations, Kapphahn unspools the origins of her own story. Her mother was born in Croatia and was raised during the Cold War by her grandmother. Kapphahn seamlessly weaves the imagined and the real as she uncovers political and thrillingly romantic stories from Europe to South America to the United States. The passion of a daughter’s love is the current that runs through a masterful and fascinating story of patient research and revelation. It is intimate and compelling and very rewarding—an unusual memoir.
Additionally, the author reads her book artfully and it is a pleasure to spend time in her company.

Beautiful story for yourself and daughters
I drive my 13-year-old twin girls one hour every day to swim practice. We listened to this story in the car. First, I recommend the audible version. I say this because Catherine's Kapphahn's reading is beautiful as she brings the story to life. Second, I highly recommend this book for young girls/women ages 13 and up. My girls were totally captivated. But more than that, they learned so much about history and the world. Hence, this is an educational book for ourselves and daughters. Enjoy.

Poignant read
Every book I've ever found worth reading has been full of passages or moments that make me stop and reread them. Moments that are beautifully worded, or particularly poignant, or heart wrenching. Passages that I want to underline and return to, or read to a friend. Of course, this is trickier with an audiobook...
Catherine Kapphahn's Imigrant Daughter had me pausing to run such passages over in my mind. Her memories with her mother are vivid and warm, and I found myself thinking of my own mother, who also died too young.
It's a comforting and lovely read, and I thank the author for giving us the experience of living her memories and journey with her.
When I finished the book, I promptly bought it for my mother in law, a voracious reader. I know she will love it.

This is why words are put to the page: to explore universal themes that echo in our hearts, reminding us of the profound connections we share regardless of geography and the age in which we live. Readers will all find themselves at home in this masterful work of art.

Beautifully Written
As a daughter and the mother of a daughter, this richly told story resonated deeply with me. The author's journey through the death of her mother and getting to know her posthumously on a deeper level was beautifully told. History, complex relationships and the love of family are all on full display. The author tells her story in a voice that made it a true pleasure to listen to. I could definitely feel the emotions behind her words. Thanks for this beautiful story!
