Blog post(Originally posted on Facebook, 3/10/2022)
I just watched Belfast. Really good. It breaks the heart. It rang familiar, though I’ve never been to Northern Ireland, only the Republic. It rang true, not just because I love Ireland (who doesn’t?), but because I’m surrounded by refugees as an ESL Instructor. They’re my everyday. They’re the reason I get up and drink coffee very early in the morning. But what if they never had to leave their homes in the first place?

Kyiv As I go to sleep tonight, you wake to bombs and artillery fire. The Russians are very close now to the city center. I am trying to keep my corner of America interested in what is happening to you, because maybe my corner will push another corner and it will spread out to Washington and NATO and we can end that madman. This is not likely, but it is all that is within my power. For me, the news feels surreal, like I’m watching WWII happen2 months ago Read more -

Slava Ukraini, but also long live all the brave Russians.
My dear Russian friends are breaking down. They are being crushed. All the midnight messages that I sneak out of bed to take or reply to. My haulting Russian. Their choked English. The terror of banks crashing, the food running out. The begging of God to take them b3 months ago Read more -

Blog postI love that my Ukrainian Jewish ancestors were called “Goloby”. Doves. Peace. When they came to America, via Ukraine + Poland + the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they changed their name to “Globy” and called themselves Germans, which they were not. When no one was convinced, they gave each other French first names. That, also, did not convince anyone of their “Westernness” when they moved to an Eastern European Jewish neighborhood in Philadelphia. They thought Globy sounded more English, but they<3 months ago Read more

Blog postThis day, a year ago, the Insurrection tore apart parts of the US Capitol building. Many Republicans are still insisting that it was no big deal, that most attendees were respectful and kind. Maybe the majority were, but they were eagerly charging behind the guys with Confederate flags and beating and macing police officers. They were cheering on the people who were screaming “Hang Mike Pence!” (the Vice President of the United States). They were part of the mob trying to crush security perso4 months ago Read more

Blog postConcord Point Lighthouse, Havre de Grace, MD We’ve all lost something in the past year and half, haven’t we? Lives, loves, businesses, livelihoods, dreams, the simple rhythm of how things used to be. We’re dealing with Covid grief, even if we don’t yet realize it. Some of us have lost everything, and others have just realized things are not going back to how they were, and that can feel like everything. We’ve said goodbye to our loved ones; more than half a million Americans have died. We ha11 months ago Read more

Blog postIt’s rumored that when the Union general, Sherman, rolled into Savannah he had every intention of burning it to the ground. He said it was much too beautiful to destroy, but the locals have a different story. They insist that their most important citizens (AKA: the very richest of the rich) bribed Sherman, convincing him that this town was worth saving. Southern charm supposedly enraptured him in Lafayette Square, whereas it couldn’t do any such thing in any other part of Dixie. I tend to be<12 months ago Read more

Blog postIf you’re anything like me, you had a vacation (no matter how big or small) designated for 2020, but Covid happened, so your vacation didn’t. Can you relate? My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in July 2020, so we booked a dream-come-true vacation with Viking River Cruises. We were going to explore Budapest, Prague, and a few of my other ancestral cities. It was my husband’s surprise to me.

Blog postI was so excited to read this review tonight
“I never expected to like this book as much as I did. Tiffani’s storytelling creates a magnificent escape for the reader, suddenly I’m in 1930s Oklahoma witnessing the blossoming forbidden love between two people eaten away by the harrowing circumstances of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.
Loved the writing and setting, you’d think to read one chapter but end up reading eight more. The Dual POV is perfectly done and I loved h1 year ago Read more -

The Great Depression and Dust Bowl have destroyed Melinda's home, her community, and her family, leaving her alone in a world of aimless refugees. Just when she thinks there's nothing else left in life to fight for, a stranger seeks shelter in her schoolhouse on the most violent storm of the decade. Jake is running from the memories of another life, using his assignment with the National Relief Administration to keep him distracted from the realities of anti-Semitism in 1930s America. As he documents the life of migrants on the road to a better life in California, and makes Melinda his focus, the horizon brightens. Together, Melinda and Jake start to piece their lives back together. But when they push against the odds, betrayal and trauma threaten to separate them forever. Will they find each other again, or are they lost to the violence of migrant camps and their own desperation? From the author of All This Time, comes the debut historical romance, The Search: A Dust Bowl Love Story.
