Biographie de Michael A. Susko

The author, the grandchild of immigrant parents from Eastern Europe has always had an interest in the  survival of the underdog in the clash of empires. After the fall of the Berlin wall, he visited people from his mother's side in Slovakia, who still mark the spot of the German invasions over their mountains and which they survived. On his father's side the same war largely eliminated his people in the area around Lviv, Ukraine.
The author's journeys have also taken him to Guatemala, where villagers were forced to flee up into the mountains and have created a beautiful life. The author has unconsiously drawn upon this history in the creation of this archetypal tale.
