Romanowski: Her immigrant story resonates with readers, publisher Continued from front page
Romanowski said she was “overjoyed and astonished” to win the award, adding that she’s been delighted by the response from readers.
“It amazes me how people will tell me how much they enjoyed my book, and
then share a personal story. It is wonderfully gratifying, as my ‘mission’ is accomplished,” she said. “My response to them is, ‘That’s wonderful, write your stories down, and ask questions of anyone in your family who is still alive who can provide answers.’ ’’
Since her book was published, Romanowski has kept busy with readings, book fairs and smaller projects, and also given presentations to writing classes at Rosemont College. She was a graduate student at Rosemont when she had the epiphany to
tell her family saga in a series of vignettes. Rosemont was also the site of her book launch in February 2023.
Romanowski said she’s exploring ideas for a follow-up to “Final Touchstones.” IAH
