Ruth Rotkowitz asked Iris Dorbian:

Iris, your review of Lila by Rose Ross is very moving as you seem to understand the trauma that children of survivors suffer. My novel, Escaping the Whale, features a protagonist who is the adult daughter of Holocaust survivors struggling with her legacy of inherited trauma and trying to be 'normal' in 1980 New York. Would you be interested in reading and possibly reviewing my novel? Sincerely, Ruth Rotkowitz

Iris Dorbian Hi, Ruth: Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks so much for your note. Yes, I am also a child of a Holocaust survivor so I completely understand the problems the second generation face when it comes to inherited trauma.
