About
Courage for Survival is the extraordinary story of a young girl born in the peaceful mountains of the unspoiled island of Crete. Aristea Pettis invites us into her idyllic childhood, documenting daily life in the rural village: tales of colorful church processions, long treks through the rugged mountains, feasts, and women coming together to embroider by the faint light of oil-soaked wicks. In 1941 Aristea sat atop a mountain with her father and watched German planes fly over Crete, dropping paratroopers as they went. Her country and life as she knew it were torn apart. She brings to life a personal account of twentieth century history. Experience the terror, deprivation, and struggle for survival of a wartime family through the eyes of a remarkable young woman.
