The White Bow

the long version

The White Bow is a rich autobiography of a family struggling through tough and merciful times in Central Europe and ex-Yugoslavia after World War II. As a child, Aleksandra Veble grew up as a loving, sweet, resilient, rebellious and very much independent young woman who defied the firmly entrenched male dominant world of Slovenia, Beirut, Baghdad and much of Europe. Aleksandra developed an iron will and extraordinary strength to survive childhood abuse, communist tyranny, civil war and terrorism and social injustice to ultimately celebrate a triumph over adversity. The White Bow is a rich narrative encompassing three generations and countless countries, and is ultimately a gripping real love story as well as an adventure filled with a cast of unforgettable characters.
