    Apr 23 2022
    As the world reels from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many Americans are focused on gas prices and the stock market. But American author Ella Colic knows about the real cost of war.

Ella didn't learn about this in a history class; she learned it from her family who kept their personal stories about war secret until she was old enough to understand. Listen, as Ella Colic shares about her groundbreaking book, "Trees Without Roots."
