Caught in the turmoil of the Greek Civil War, 10 year old Joanna Sonya Giangardella was placed into a special United Nations-sponsored adoption program supported by Queen Frederica.

This true story of a young girl’s journey gives a poignant perspective of international adoptions, the collision of cultures, and the well-intentioned but flawed American intervention following the Greek Civil War. The strong bond between mother and daughter and how that love overcomes distance, time, and hardship is an inspiration to all who read “The Girl from the Tower.”
