Born in the formerly German (now Polish) province of Silesia and survivor of WWII, Mrs. Edwards, now in her nineties, spoke on the collection of stories that she published through Emerging Ink Solutions and the countless life lessons she acquired from her parents while growing up in the midst of World War II. 

Mrs. Edwards explained in her usual quiet but self-assured tone the thematic elements that comprised her book and how her faith and the concept of forgiveness guided her and her family through bombings, daring escapes, and atrocities perpetrated both by Germany and Russia.
