Weeds: A Farm Daughter’s Lament by Evelyn I. Funda in
Booklist

“While patiently recounting the deep immigrant roots that
permeate her personal history, Funda has crafted an intensely American story.
She channels Willa Cather when writing of her mother, who traveled west from
New York City on the promise of an epistolary friendship after only recently
escaping Moravia with her life and little else.” —Colleen Mondor
