Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9?Byman presents the story of an individual whose personal history is inseparable from world history. As a child, Madeline Korbel fled with her family to London as their native Czechoslovakia was about to fall under Nazi rule. In 1948, the family came to America to escape persecution by the Communist government that then controlled their homeland. In the U.S., she came to hold the very same job once held by Thomas Jefferson. "A little awe there," says Albright. The woman's humor comes through in quotes and anecdotes, and her deep patriotism comes across sincerely. This is an informative and timely biography, illustrated with black-and-white photos of uneven quality.?Rebecca O'Connell, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA
