Publisher's Summary

"Beneath the Olive Tree, A Journey of Survival" is a compelling historical fiction novel that delves into the intricate dynamics of family, loyalty, and survival amidst the backdrop of war and political upheaval. The story follows the Vassanas family, primarily through the eyes of young Joey Vassanas, as they navigate the rapidly changing societal landscape of the Mediterranean from the 1940s through the early communist era.

This novel explores the deep emotional struggles between familial duty and personal freedom, all while being anchored in real-life experiences documented in a personal diary.

Betrayal and Forgiveness, Survival, cultural and Societal Change: These themes raise questions about the impact of shifting political systems on individuals and families and the struggle for identity and acceptance in foreign lands.

The narrative promises to engage and inspire, offering a poignant exploration of the human condition and a stirring reminder of our capacity to overcome even the most daunting obstacles. It speaks to the heart of what it means to be human, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a story of depth, meaning, and enduring relevance.
