Discover the power of heritage, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds that connect generations. In Never Break the Chain, award-winning journalist Kimberly Gasuras takes you on an intimate journey through her family's immigration story that begins in the heart of Greece, winds through rural Virginia, and weaves into modern-day Bucyrus, Ohio.
What begins as a terrifying night-waiting for news from loved ones caught in the middle of the Las Vegas mass shooting-becomes a catalyst for uncovering family history, honoring those who came before, and recognizing the enduring struggles of immigrants across decades.
Through vivid storytelling and heartfelt reflection, you will:
- See how exploring your roots can transform your understanding of yourself.
- Learn how history, both personal and cultural, shapes identity and resilience.
- Recognize parallels between the struggles of past immigrants and those arriving today.
- Feel inspired to preserve your own family's legacy for future generations.
- Understand the healing and grounding power of connection in times of crisis.
Whether your ancestors arrived generations ago or you're part of a first-generation family, Never Break the Chain is an invitation to rediscover where you come from and why those stories matter now more than ever.
