I just received an inscribed copy of “The Wall Between Us: A Story of Sorrow and Survival in War-torn Warsaw” from the author, Krystyna Ros.Sorell. Chris (as we call her) wrote the following note to me:
Dear P.J.,
I am giving this book to you, an avid reader of books, a friend interested in other cultures, and an intuitive and emotional woman–a good American, who I hope will absorb the incomprehensible situations in a city at war, put, as I hope, into comprehensible words that you will accept as enrichment to a life of someone who had the privilege of being part of a country which became a dream for so many (including me!).
Accept this book with a hug and best wishes for a beautiful time of retirement, whenever it happens. Nurture your talents, and enjoy friendships which enrich lives on the road to maturity.
All the best, dear P.J., from this newly born writer,
Krystyna Ros.Sorell
