Helen Papanikolas lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is the author of Small Bird, Tell Me: Stories of Greek Immigrants in Utah and The Apple Falls from the Tree: Stories.
"A frank and haunting portrayal of two Greek children who grew up to become parents of Americans. . . . Papanikolas has mixed oral history, folk and family lore, primary documents, on-site observations, secondary sources, and personal remembrances into a heady mixture, animated with characters no longer present in the Greek-American world, pungent with smells and sounds long changed, rich in proverbs and songs near forgotten. This is a vivid description of an ethnic community in the American West."—Western Historical Quarterly "A searching and revealing history of the author's parents and a probing look into the creative self of an accomplished immigration and ethnic historian. . . . As history, the study transcends a mere account of two immigrants and captures the essence and flavor of immigrant life in Utah and the West."—Journal of American History
