by Basia Jaworska (Author)

Days of the Owl is a compelling, often painful, depiction of true heroism in everyday life during the cruel Nazi occupation of Poland. The inner fabric of the society was stretched and torn, friendships were tested, and loyalty to the cause of patriotism was strained to an existential degree.

In this beautifully crafted account of her mother Teresa's work as a teenager for the Polish resistance, Basia Jaworska creates an intimate account of life under the oppressive Nazi boot and in a cruelly-managed prisoner-of-war camp. She then follows her mother's post-war transition and marriage and her subsequent immigration with her new husband Zbyszek to start a life and family in America. Throughout her many grim, but ultimately triumphant adventures, Teresa's undaunted will and dignity shine brilliantly despite adversities of all kinds. In Days of the Owl, Teresa's spirit comes vividly alive to be admired and celebrated for her courage, dignity, and unshakable faith in herself and in those she so strongly loved.
