'I want the things that I write to one day see the light of day, to be published. I want my children to understand that if they now live well, choose their partner, go on a honeymoon and live a better life, that they should not forget that their parents underwent years of hardship here in this foreign land. Those young women, who left their homeland and came here for a new tomorrow, often came up against such a lack of understanding that they were driven to despair, even suicide. It is to these wounded, immigrant women that I leave this book because I am one of them and I always think of them with love and compassion. - Litsa Nikolopoulou-Gogas' (Publication summary)
