Sixty-five years later, Philomena began to tell her story of World War II in personal interviews that resulted, first, in a series of articles in the Bangor Daily News in 2010 and, two years later, in this book. Generously illustrated with precious family photographs Philomena's mother carried with her on their long trek, Flight to Freedom, is the experience of a child recalled as an adult so future generations might have a picture of war not found in history books.
