[heading subtitle=”Finding Yia Yia” title=”A Greek Tragedy”]Because 80 years is long enough to keep a secret
More than three quarters of a century after the brutal murder of her grandmother, Angela Derecas Taylor set out to untangle her family’s closely guarded secrets, learn about the grandmother she never knew, and come to terms with the reality that her own beloved grandfather was a murderer. Finding YiaYia: A Greek Tragedy is the story of Angela’s search for the truth, in the face of resistance and animosity from her family members, to bring her grandmother’s story to life, uncover the circumstances that led to her tragic death and bring honor to the memory of a woman, Mary Derecas, who was left in an unmarked grave.
