“Uncovering Hidden Truths: Caroline Topperman Reveals the Secrets Behind ‘Your Roots Cast a Shadow'”
When she and her husband sell their home and move to Warsaw, Caroline finds herself living in a neighborhood where nearly every corner she passes is one where her ancestors walked. The experience moves her to take a deep dive into family documents and mementos to better understand her parents’ and grandparents’ histories in a historical and cultural context. The result is Your Roots Cast a Shadow: One Family’s Search Across History for Belonging (HCI Books; December 2024), a compelling and vividly told hybrid memoir of cultural translation, identity, and belonging.
