  Tammy Bottner

  My "day job" is being a pediatric and adolescent/ integrative medicine physician in a small city north of Boston.
  
  This is my first book.
  
  As the child and grandchild of Holocaust survivors I have always felt a strong connection with the experiences my father and his parents went through during WW2. In fact, I experienced flashbacks of a sort when my first child was born.
  
  In this book I relay the extraordinary series of events that allowed my family to evade annihilation at the hands of the Nazis. I also explore epigenetics - the study how trauma and other life events changes our DNA, and how these modified genes are passed along to subsequent generations - like myself.
