But, she and her husband (who had already fled to safety), figured Tamerla was the only one to save their business. Her husband feared being arrested or forced into the army.<br />Stacey - she is amazing in what she's done and is still doing. Tamerla works hard and goes to college.<br />Laura - Every woman should understand her struggle to find the strength to go on. And , every mother will "feel" her fear for her child's life and goal to risk anything to keep her child safe.<br />Donna - There's much more to her story, but fear from reprisals means some had to be left unwritten.<br />Thanks again, Sandy!Marianne Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277593485137508765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156580044494347982.post-27711302038387792172011-02-14T11:38:47.609-06:002011-02-14T11:38:47.609-06:00What an incredible story, Marianne!

I'm glad to see we get another point of view rather than the one written in history books. In the play, The Vagina Monologues, there is a scene from the war in Sarajavo and the surrounding area of combined women's voices. It was the most gruesome part of the play. It is that part that stays with me the most. I cannot forget that story. Those that survived were strong. I don't know that I would have had their strength and courage. Thank you for sharing Tamerla's story with us.Shehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376023103870884939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156580044494347982.post-35028459242374160322011-02-13T19:26:07.375-06:002011-02-13T19:26:07.375-06:00Thanks Sandy and Jean.

It took a lot of time to write Tamerla's story...I wanted to be sure to get the facts correct. <br />My secret to doing everything...I don't sleep a lot until one day when I crash and sleep for 12 hours!<br />Cleaning? Am I supposed to do that, too??

She's the care giver for her mother, writes, promotes, started romance books r us, and has time for kids, grandchildren and hubby. <br /><br />I haven't been to her house for a long time. I bet it needs a cleaning. lol Just kidding, Marianne.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156580044494347982.post-8528558476808767002011-02-13T14:40:46.480-06:002011-02-13T14:40:46.480-06:00This one went through so I'll send a real mess...This one went through so I'll send a real message.
