SUMMARY:Signing a book by Elizabeth Suszynski
DESCRIPTION: Elizabeth Suszynski will sign her book:\n“Journey Through an Immigrant’s Life\, With Faith\, Hope\, and Love.”\nat Kramarczuk Deli\n\nFrom the author:\n“To anyone with interest in a story about a life that began in Poland during socialism and has grown in America since 1976\, I am thrilled to share that my book is finally being released. The book reflects on my joys and struggles growing up\, my journey to the United States of America where I sought freedom\, and the wonderful life I’ve worked so hard to build and sustain. Given the current turmoil in my beloved America and the entire world\, I hope the stories of my life provide some solace\, some wisdom\, and some love. The book\, a memoir: “Journey Through an Immigrant’s Life with Faith\, Hope and Love. How Faith Gave Me Hope to Find Love and Meaning in Life” is my story.\nThe story is of my family\, memories of my childhood in Poland\, immigration\, personal development\, and my journey of prayer and connecting with the Creator.\nThis book is a labor of love\, but also an opportunity for me to try and help solve the ills of our society. I will consider myself successful if I can only influence the life of one individual in a positive way.”\n\nFor more information\, contact Elizabeth Suszynski at e.m.suszynski@att.net
