About Felicia Prekeris Brown Books
Felicia Dalia Prekeris Brown was born in Lithuania in 1937, just before World War II unleashed its terrors in Europe. This memoir vividly recounts the family's harrowing struggle to escape the Soviets, the enemy they feared most. After years in displaced person camps in Germany, and living as a foster child in England, Felicia and her parents achieved their dream: a better life in the United States. Following a lifetime of satisfying work-first as a teacher, then as a court investigator, Felicia and her husband retired to the central coast of California. Currently, she enjoys Greek dancing, participating in a local lifelong learning program, and going on outings with her Red Hat friends. And over the years she has collected more than a thousand dolls, hoping to compensate for the one she longed for throughout her childhood.
