About the Author


Peter Kalellis was born in Philadelphia in 1926, but grew up in Greece on the island of Lesbos, where he endured the Nazi occupation.

He is the author of many books on psychology and Eastern Orthodox spirituality.

Praise For…


"From his days as a child in Greece, fighting the Nazis who occupied his island, Kalellis has drawn lessons from experience. Now 88, he has been a psychotherapist to hundreds and author of many books, both psychological and spiritual. This remarkable man has drawn deep and eloquent lessons from long and varied experience. He stands today as a repository of wisdom about life, a treasure awaiting all who will read." —Frank J. Esposito, former President, Kean University, New Jersey

"From a prolific writer of psycho-spiritual self-help books comes a second captivating novel about a grieving father who leaves the United States, a country he loves, and returns with his young orphaned daughter to Greece, the land of his origin. Here he finds a loving and supportive sister who helps to raise his daughter. While the Nazi invasion paralyzes the nation, lovers of freedom patiently transcend the horror and cruelty, believing that life must be celebrated." —Ernie Anastos, TV Anchor, FOX News, NYC.
