Edith Perl has sur­vived more than most in her life. And despite the atroc­i­ties she had wit­nessed she nev­er lost the abil­i­ty to love laugh live life to the fullest. She passed away on Jan­u­ary 27 2017 with her daugh­ters by her side. Lind­say Pre­ston is the grand­daugh­ter of Edith Perl and a pro­fes­sion­al author. Noth­ing makes her more proud than being able to help her Grand­moth­er write this book.
