My Story
As a co-founder of a healthcare start-up, I don't often have a lot of free time on my hands. However, once I met Clara, I was inspired to read about and research historical events to better understand her life.
Before I knew it, I began to see the formation of this story unfolding before me. Each item I researched gave me fresh ideas and new angles to explore. The dramatic events and emotional upheaval during the book's timeline were a challenge to comprehend. In the end I found myself humbled, inspired, awed, and grateful. I have been blessed with the support and encouragement of friends and family to turn my research of my story of origin into this novel. I hope you enjoy it.
A historical fiction novel about surviving World War II and the Cold War, murder, earthquakes, and abuse.
An excerpt:
"The Russian soldiers put guns to the foreheads of both Chiara and Maria-Luisa. Max was forced to prove his musical profession by an audition. Chiara watched, frozen, sniffling, unable to cry anymore at this point, the smell of gunpowder from the muzzle of the gun to her face, burning her nose, the heat singeing her cheek, while her father auditioned for their lives."
Literary Titan said "Jamilkowski's prose is evocative...a resonant and powerful narrative.....an engaging read ...The Road to Moresco [is] a commendable addition to the genre.."
