"This is a beautiful ending to a wonderful series. Although I amm sad to see it end (It feels like saying goodbye to old friends) it is a perfect ending. I highly recommend the entire series." Amazon Customer

Again Ms Politis nailed it. Mourning Free and Olivia working together some way or another to make the story once again hard to set aside. Add Nick, Jake, Michelle, the children, the business, and the book was over before this reader was ready. Again great storyline, great characters, absolutely great book. Would I be bored with more? Absolutely not!" Amazon Customer

"I have devoured all five books in this series and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Thank you Yael Politis for the gift of your extraordinary talent. It is quite remarkable. Each of the five books is long and satisfying. I absolutely love this authors writing style, her imagination and the research which made each book so authentic. I would have loved to have read another five books in the same series. Strongly recommended!" Book Addict

"I learned several things from this book. The entirety of the Chicago Lakeshore area was raised several feet to add in sewage equipment and prevent disease issues, stemming from poor drainage in the area. I found that fascinating. There were also references to some types of river travel of which I was unaware, information about the digging of the canals connecting various rivers for transport by the shallow boats and tugs. Much more interesting history in this issue. Again I found these most intriguing books and highly recommend them!" Judi D. Thomas-Sheerer

"Story never gets boring, always something or someone new happening. Very believable story and is a major page turner. Read the entire series and glad I did!" Kindle Customer

Autorenporträt

I grew up in Dearborn, Michigan, in the house on the cover of Book 3 of the Olivia series, not far from the location of Olivia's farm.
While studying at the Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin, I spent two summers in Israel and ended up coming back to make my life here. Since then I've spent a lot of time traveling between the Middle East and the Midwest, loving both my homes.
While living on Kibbutz Ein Tsurim I learned the story of the Etzion Bloc during Israel's War of Independence from people who had lived through it. It was many years before I dared to try to put it down on paper. At that time, fantasies aside, I considered writing nothing more than a hobby.
I did, however, post the first chapters of The Lonely Tree on a writers' workshop run by the London Arts Council. There it received a Book of the Year award and Holland Park Press of London asked to see the complete manuscript. Not long afterwards I received an email from them. "We want to publish your book." Hey, you never know when a fantasy is going to come true.
For years I had been researching the backdrop for Olivia's story and based many of the details in the Olivia Series on letters and journals passed down through my family, over seven generations of lives lived in the American Midwest. I also received a great deal of information and insight from my sister Martha, who lived with her husband in a modern log home, hunted her own land, cut her own firewood, and was as independent and stubborn as Olivia. Then self-publishing happened. The prospect of being able to publish that story independently was a great motivator, and I finally completed and published the five books of the Olivia series.
