About this listen

The Way My Life Turned Out by Jessica Platner is a heartfelt memoir that takes listeners through the journey of a woman navigating love, loss, resilience, and identity against the backdrop of Soviet-era Belarus and later Israel. Through vivid stories of family life, her father’s imprisonment, and the challenges of emigrating, Jessica weaves a deeply personal narrative that captures both the struggles and joys of her experience. She reflects on her relationships, cultural identity, and the enduring strength of family bonds, offering a moving exploration of memory, heritage, and the courage to start anew.
