Books by Andrew Bienkowski

ANDREW BIENKOWSKI has spent more than 40 years as a clinical therapist. At the age of six, he and his family were forced to leave their Polish homeland for Siberia where his grandfather deliberately starved to death so that the women and children might have enough to eat. The years that followed were harrowing, difficult and magical and influenced his entire life. After Siberia, the family spent a year in an Iranian refugee camp where Andrew nearly died from dysentery, malaria and malnutrition. Three years in Palestine followed, a year in England, before he finally immigrated to America where he went on to earn a Masters in Clinical Psychology and to be a psychotherapist.

Her story, 'Wild, Wild Horses' was named a Notable Story of 2004 and she was a 1997 winner in the Robert Hughes Prose Writing Competition sponsored by the Maui Writers Conference and a three-time recipient of Bread Loaf work study
