Reviews

"Such a lyrical, soul-rending, sumptuous book! It captures the heart and mind of a Hungarian girl who is sad and brave at the same time as she tries to make sense of what looks like her family's desertion. A testament to the triumph of the human spirit in the face of deep loneliness and loss, Girl Left Behind reminds us that one can have no home anywhere and at the same time have a special kind of home everywhere."

"This is a story full of heartache but also one which celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive. It is a book for anyone who has lost someone they loved, or even anyone who never has, but fears the experience. In short-this is a book for everyone."

-Elizabeth Cohen

Author of The Family on Beartown Road:

A Memoir of Love and Courage


"Girl Left Behind is a gripping, heartbreaking, and strikingly beautiful memoir of the immigrant experience that is all the more relevant and necessary in today's political climate. In a tale that is reminiscent of The Liar's Club and The Glass Castle, Judy Temes, a masterful and compassionate storyteller, captivates the reader with her charm, wit, and lyrical prose. This is a story that will stick with me, and that I will never be able to leave behind."
