SOFIA’S STORY, THE SHATTERED SEEDS
Maura Gallagher
Genre: Historical Fiction | Literary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
This is the current edition of the author’s debut novel SHATTERED SEEDS: ‘SOFIA’S STORY’ in all editions except for one, ANEW, Vol. I, a stand alone novel in the author’s new collection of stories about immigrants to the United States during various times in the country’s history.
Although born on different continents and at different times in the 20th Century, the two main characters in SOFIA’S STORY, THE SHATTERED SEEDS have a commonality – both are writers and both are immigrants to America. The novel opens in 2008. Thirty-something Janene McDeenon, a writer/editor of a magazine in Atlanta, is traveling to Pittsburgh to interview a famous writer, Sofia Blackburn-Anderson (pen named ‘Sophie Simon’) who is also the founder of the largest chain of adoption centers for needy children in the world, the World Organization of Quilts. Orphaned in infancy in S. Vietnam and adopted by a loving American couple in 1972, Janene is the mixed race daughter of a Vietnamese woman and an African American soldier. She hopes the current assignment on “Adoption in America” will also help in her personal search to find her biological mother. Raised in Atlanta, she had little contact with others of her race. On the other hand, Sofia was born in Berlin in 1919 and raised with the many traditions of her German family. Once married to a Nazi Officer in an arranged marriage, she ran away from her evil husband in 1944, a flight that shattered her life, taking away everyone and everything she ever loved. Consequently, she denounced all ties to her heritage, vowing never again to acknowledge she was a German.
Strangers, Sofia sets the tone for Janene’s interview by reciting one story after another about her life, including the fact that she believes that Janene is actually her long lost granddaughter. Janene doesn’t know what to believe, but as she listens to Sofia recite stories as if she is reading them from a script, she forms a bond that transpires Time and the distance of three continents. Sofia asks Janene to be her guest at her mansion and the meeting becomes a weekend of marathon story telling in which Janene also shares hopes and aspirations for the future, including finding her biological family, especially her Vietnamese mother. Sofia promises to help Janene in her search. In ill health and facing death, Sofia secretly hopes to find the proper disposition for the one item in her vast estate she values most, her beloved Oma’s quilt. It is the last relic she has of her German family made by her Oma. She wants to put her affairs in order before she dies and embrace her German heritage one final time.
A story within a story, Sofia tells about her tragic but triumphant life, sharing tales about her German family, farmers outside of Berlin who became homeless after losing fields due to the economic conditions in Germany after the loss of WWI. Although Janene knows nothing about her Vietnamese ancestors, the plot eventually reveals that Janene’s maternal ancestors were also farmers in the rice paddies of Vietnam until the Viet Cong destroyed the village. This explains the author’s selection of the title, comparing the process of prematurely ‘shattering’ the seeds of plants to destroying the genes of another generation of humans through the practices of war.
