Praise for STOLEN: LOVE AND LOSS IN THE TIME OF COVID-19
March 2020, New York City. A vivid day-for-day diary that gives a rare insight into the lives of one woman, her son, her mother, and her wife as they deal with the complexities of the new mystery disease, Covid. With the turning of each page, we witness their sorrow, their anger and helplessness as they must watch as her father ultimately dies an untimely and lonely death. Emotional and gripping, this is a beautifully written testament to how a global disaster can affect us on a most personal level. It is a story no one should forget.
—Kerstin Lieff, author of Letters from Berlin and The Wolf Children of the Eastern Front
