A  NOTE FROM CARLA

Hidden Falls
Author Carla Danziger
Thank you for visiting carladanziger.com.  If you’ve read Hidden Falls, you already know why I wrote it.  But if you haven’t, let me say   I’ve had the opportunity to travel to Norway several times, and I love it.  I always feel at home there.  I was blessed to grow up in the Pacific Northwest with grandparents from Norway and Finland a big part of my life. I cherish my memories of them.  When I met my husband who grew up in Israel, I was saddened to learn that he never knew his grandparents—they were murdered in the death camps of Europe.  Knowing that made the tragedy of the Holocaust much more real to me.  Long a fan of mystery and romance, I set out to write a novel that would give me an opportunity to weave a story that draws upon history shared by both Norwegians and Israelis (and Europeans)— that is the brutality of the Nazis—and the impact of World War II on survivors up to current times. At the same time, I wanted the reader to find solace in Norway’s beautiful scenery. I welcome your comments about Hidden Falls and/or this website. Please write me at carladanziger@yahoo.com.
