| However,
her carefree and adventuresome childhood was disrupted when her father
developed heart disease and died at a young age. Then World War II
erupted, resulting in further instability and uncertainty in her young
life. Heljo and her family manage to finally escape from both the
Soviet and Nazi occupation and flee to Sweden, where life began to take
on a semblance of normalcy as she finds work, meets her husband, and
begins to raise a family. Finally in America, she finds new challenges
and opportunities in the corporate and academic worlds.
A thoroughly engaging and well-written tale told with picturesque words
and phrases, A Captain’s Daughter is not only a peek into a vibrant and well-lived life, but also a revealing slice of history told from a fresh point
of view.
