"...an evocative autobiographical exploration of personal growth, resilience, and cultural identity...a compelling read for those interested in autobiographical tales that blend historical context with personal reflection." - Readers Favorite Radomysl Twardowski's moving story of growing up in post-war Poland begins with early memories of walks around Krakow with his beloved Grandfather Karol. As it becomes clear to the young Rado that Poland's history is rooted in Christianity, the solemn grandeur and religious atmosphere of places like Wawel Cathedral and other churches begin to have a profound impact on him. He would later be drawn to SSPX and Latin Mass, a subject of debate in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. After the rise of Solidarity in 1980 and the declaration of martial law in 1981, Rado leaves Poland for the US, where he graduates from medical school and practices cardiology for several years, eventually becoming a proponent for fitness and wellness. Woven throughout this gripping memoir set against the backdrop of dramatic political, religious, and newsworthy developments are the author's stories of hardship and triumph over adversity-from a skiing injury at age twelve that left him with physical limitations to the dissolution of his marriage and a difficult separation from his children. Throughout this memorable journey through history, Twardowski offers us a deeply personal life story of exploration, loss, redemption, and survival.
