Produktbeschreibung

This memoir is the immigrant story of Arta, an uprooted adolescent, who grows up in Romania until the age of 14, during the Ceausescu regime. The author dedicates the memoir to her mother, Sofia, who managed to leave Romania in 1970 for a better life first in Paris, France, and then New York. The culture shock and many challenges they face together strengthen the mother-daughter bond and both rely on their creativity as artists to express the inner transformations of this new life (illustrations of Sofia' s tapestries and pyro engravings and Arta's paintings are included here.) Arta is also able to pursue higher degrees based on her love and dedication to French culture. And ultimately she feels at home in the United States when she marries her husband, Jerry, and they have their beloved daughter, Emmadora. Arta Lucescu-Boutcher is a Romanian born painter and writer who has been living in the United States since 1971. Her book, 'Rediscovering Benjamin Fondane,' has been published by Peter Lang and is available on Amazon. She received her doctoral degree in 20th century French literature from the Graduate School of the City University of New York and her Master's degree in Spanish literature from Middlebury College and is now a retired professor of French. Many of her paintings have been on exhibit in galleries located in New York and New Jersey. She continues to write and paint while enjoying her time with her daughter, Emmadora, in Vermont and her husband, Jerry, a retired German and English teacher.
