Join local author Grace Feuerverger at Books Inc. Berkeley for a reading and signing of her powerful memoir Winter Light! This memoir by a child of Holocaust survivors is unlike any other. Always searching for shelter, Grace Feuerverger knew that her home was the last place she could find it.
A child of Holocaust survivors, Grace was always searching for shelter but knew that her home was the last place where she could find it. She was eager to be out there in the world, but at every turn had to battle the demons which permeated her home - hissing their frightening, grim messages. Montréal offered Grace the chance of a lifetime. She was four years old when she discovered the joie-de-vivre of her French-Canadian neighbors in the working-class east end of her beloved city. As she grew older other serendipitous  rescues  arrived in surprising ways in many different places.
Vivid and lyrical, Winter Light is a deeply moving memoir dedicated to all who are coming from places of trauma. It is about the vast unknown territory of the human heart, where love and hope can rise above everything - in spite of the ghosts that still haunt us.  Feuerverger's search for a  place of inner solace  is profoundly inspiring … often rendered in poetically stirring prose. With affecting clarity, the author meditates on the ways in which trauma is transmitted generationally…This is a powerful story, conveyed with deep humanity and insight.  -Kirkus Reviews Grace Feuerverger was born and raised in her beloved city of Montréal surrounded by a multitude of languages and cultures inside and outside her home. She is professor emerita of education and ethnography at the University of Toronto, and taught courses on language, culture and identity as well as peace education for many years. Grace was educated at McGill University, the Università per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy, the University of California at Berkeley, the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the University of Toronto. She has also been an invited member of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO for many years.Among her many publications are two award-winning books: Oasis of Dreams (about a cooperative Jewish-Palestinian village in Israel) and Teaching, Learning and Other Miracles (about education as a sacred life journey). Although now retired, her heart will always be in the classroom with her students. Grace and her husband divide their time between Berkeley and Toronto.
