Wings of Change - A Dutch Immigrant's Journey
by Titia Bozuwa

Wings of Change is a story about becoming; it is about becoming American, becoming a parent, and embracing life with exuberance. It is a memoir about one woman’s experience emigrating as a young person from Holland to the United States and the challenges and joys she faced as she acclimated to a rural New Hampshire way of life. It is about her unflinching love for her husband and children, and the adventures that tested and taught them all along the way.

The writer’s descriptions of human behavior are so visual and specific to a certain time and place, and yet they are universal. One does not need to have lived through wartime Holland as a child, be the spouse of a doctor, or have experienced a New England autumn to understand the powerful messages about life this writer explores. The raw human emotion she evokes is palpable and readers from all walks of life will feel it. They will also feel as though they themselves have met in person the characters that appear throughout the memoir; they will be able to see them, hear them and even feel them.

Bozuwa’s prose is poignant and painfully honest, while at times quite humorous. As soon as readers feel they have a grasp of the story’s emotional direction, they are gracefully whisked down another path and pleasantly surprised by where they land. In her prologue, Bozuwa writes about “flying into the unknown” and how that would define her life. What is magical about the way she writes this memoir is how her readers themselves fly into the unknown and yet they know exactly where they are. Bozuwa takes readers with her on a physical and emotional journey, leaving them mesmerized and intrigued from the first page to the last.
