Born into a Romani family bound by generational cycles of exploitation, Eliska Tanzer spent her childhood fighting for basic necessities and denied the chance for schooling or steady work.

When her mother risks everything to send her to England hidden in a washing-machine box, Eliska dares to hope. Yet the freedom she envisioned is overshadowed by new forms of abuse and isolation as a young immigrant on her own.

Through determination and the legacy of her foremothers, she transforms her life—building a thriving business, pursuing her passions as a writer and dancer, and reclaiming her autonomy.

  • Highlights Romani heritage and cultural challenges
  • Examines themes of survival, identity, and empowerment
  • A journey from oppression to self-realization

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
