Congratulations to Professor Susan Rubin Suleiman on her upcoming new book, Daughter of History: Traces of an Immigrant Girlhood, which will be available on May 23, 2023.
In her new memoir, noted scholar and author Susan Rubin Suleiman uses such everyday objects and the memories they evoke to tell the story of her early life as a Holocaust refugee and American immigrant. In this coming-of-age story that probes the intergenerational complexities of immigrant families and the inevitability of loss, Susan looks to her own life as an example of how historical events shape our private lives.
