Irene Sardanis was born into a Greek family in the Bronx in the 1940s in
which fear and peril hovered. Her mother had come to New York for an
arranged marriage. Her father drank, gambled, and enjoyed other
womenand then, when Irene was eleven, abandoned her family altogether.
Faced with their mother's violent outbursts in the wake of this
betrayal, Irene's older siblings found a way out, but Irene was trapped,
hostage to her mother's rage and despair. When she finally escaped her
mother as a young adult, she married a neighbor, also Greek, who
controlled and dominated her just like her mother always had.
But Irene wasn't ready to let her story end there. With therapy, she
eventually found the courage to leave her husband and pursue her own
dreams. Out of the Bronx is her story of coming to terms with
the mother and past that terrified and paralyzed her for far too
longand of how she went on to create a new life free of those fears.
