About the author: Albert Nadler, born in 1925, is a successful physical therapist who worked in his field well into his nineties. He is the husband of the late dearly cherished Marta Nadler, and is a much-loved father, father-in-law, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Soon the Sun Will Come Up &emdash; A Refugee's Story   Soon the Sun Will Come Up
A Refugee's Story


Written by Farida Walyzada
Illustrated by Elizabeth Uhlig

Published by Marble House Editions, paperback, 67 pages, April 2019, ISBN 978-0-9966224-6-2, $12.95
For ages 9 through 15.

About this book and its author: Soon the Sun Will Come Up is the painful but triumphant story of a family that fled Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion of the 1980s. From a prosperous middle-class community, a young woman, her husband and newborn baby were forced to leave their home in search of liberty. Under cover of darkness, through perilous and arduous routes and conditions, they escaped over the Afghan border into Pakistan and ultimately made the journey to America. This is a true and inspiring story for teenagers who value learning what price refugees are willing to pay for their freedom. Farida, who works as a para-professional in an elementary school, says the inspiration to write this book came from two colleagues back in 2009. She gives special thanks to Linda Shropshire and the late Marianne Goldacker, both of whom encouraged her to write about women in Afghanistan. Farida Walyzada is a first-time author who has told her personal story for the benefit of teenagers.

About the illustrator: Elizabeth Uhlig has illustrated this and other books with paint and collage.

Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across the World   Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across the World
A Unique Collection of 31 memoirs by grown grandchildren about the strong bond and positive influence of their grandmothers

Merry Adler, Author, Collector, and Editor
Cover design by Merry Adler
Illustrated by Natasha de Francisco

Published by Marble House Editions, hardback, 204 pages, March 2019, ISBN 978-0-9966224-4-8, $16.95

About the author: Merry Adler was inspired to write this book some four decades ago because, as she states, "Nana had the most positive influence on my life. She was loving, positive, modern, tolerant of everyone on this planet and believed in the love of work and family." Her book is the culmination of a vast amount of work done with great passion.

You might be interested in this relevant article about Merry, from the GW Alumni News.

A few reviews from readers:

"This is a real treasure of a book and a tribute to all grandmothers. It is a book of 31 well written and touching essays written by grandchildren about their beloved grandmothers from throughout the world. You will laugh and cry as you read these moving and heartfelt essays. Grandmothers hold a special place in our hearts and this gem of a book captures that place and so much more. You will feel the love and strong bond between grandmother and grandchild as you read these delightful memoirs. I highly recommend that everyone should read this book! You will be inspired by positive memories of your own grandmother." — Elaine Maruca

"I am very honored to have participated in writing about my childhood memories of my grandmother in Merry Adler's book, Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across The World. Merry has compiled 31 memoirs of delightful stories written by mostly women and a few men from all around the world. Not only are the stories tenderly reflective and heart-warming, but this book is a good read for those of us baby boomers who greatly adored our grandmothers, and for this young generation to learn how very much our grandmothers influenced our lives. The cover is exquisitely designed by Natasha de Francisco, who intuitively and creatively understood the author's vision for this wonderful book you are sure to enjoy reading and recommending to many others." — Dr. Jeanne Sheffield

"This book will warm your heart with diverse, meaningful stories. Each story reinforces the importance of a grandmother's love. Every story is special in its own way. You will find yourself smiling, laughing, and crying from the touching words about each grandmother. The author did such a nice job including stories about grandmothers from various places and walks of life. This book is a must have!" — Danielle Amodeo Caulfield

"Merry Adler's book, Grandmothers Who Inspired Us Across The World, is a heart-warming glimpse into the memories many of us have of the love and influence our grandmothers had on our lives. While some of the stories are humorous, others are deeply moving and all give lessons on how they have touched so many of us. This is a great read to just pick up and 'drop the needle' to read a myriad of stories from mostly adult grandchildren and their many experiences. Highly recommended!" — Wayne Estrada

"Many touching stories...several of them brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. If you loved your grandmother, you will treasure these memoirs! Well worth the read — I loved it!" — Sharon Overholser

"What a wonderful book. The stories reminded me so fondly of both my grandmothers who were always there to provide support and warmth as I was growing up. Ms. Adler does a great job of bringing together that serve to guide me in my new role as a grandparent and relations with my grandchildren. So a 5-star recommendation for any grandparent or those who want to reflect on what our grandmothers meant to us." — Bernard J. Horak

"If you never had a relationship with your grandmother, you may find one to adopt in this uniquely wonderful, soulful book. This is a lovely collection of memoirs by mostly adults, one teenager and a few children under the age of 10. There is a cross-section of cultures and experiences in these stories. Some are historical, others humorous, some are privileged, other grandmothers had very little means. Some are safe and secure, others are trying to survive revolution and war. All are candid, unique to each grandchild and truly heart-warming." — Karrol D'Amalio

"Reading this book about so many different grandmothers was, for me, like receiving a warm snuggly hug from across time and distance. No matter where the grandmothers were from, or their backgrounds, the love and caring shine through to the grandchildren. The stories were so interesting, each individual experience being told from a unique viewpoint. It makes one realize the power of a grandparent's influence in a grandchild's life. I will be much more aware of my own influence upon my grands and try hard to create a legacy similar to the ones in this book — a high honor indeed!" — Rebecca Feldman

"This book captures the essence of grandmothers; who they are, where they come from, what made them special, and why they are so important to each of us. I enjoyed reading about the common traits so many have; like a fierce devotion to their family and a strong determination to take care of their own. Plus, apparently most were really good cooks! Each grandmother is very special to each author in their own way and that is evident in the passages. Especially poignant are the chapters highlighting words from small children talking about their Nana's. Too cute!" — Arthur C. G. Hyland

A Memoir by Werner Kleeman with Elizabeth Uhlig

Published by Marble House Editions, paperback, 322 pages, August 2007, ISBN 0-9786745-3-7
For ages 16 and up.

About From Dachau to D-Day: As the 19-year old son of a prominent German Jewish family, Werner Kleeman was a victim of Kristallnacht. He saw the betrayal of his Jewish neighbors as fellow villagers gleefully destroyed their homes and property. He was sent to Dachau, but by the grace of a family friend, was released after six weeks, and left Germany for good.

As a new American, Kleeman was drafted and sent overseas to participate in the D-Day invasion. The end of the war brought him back to his own hometown, where he confronted the wreckage of the Jewish community. Denouncing those citizens who participated in Kristallnacht, Kleeman redeemed at least some of the suffering of fellow Jews.

This story spans a lifetime, reaching back before the war and beyond the war's end. It tells of how one individual used life's circumstances to contribute to the betterment of those around him.
