Dratch’s Wartime Family Story Featured at BolognaBookPlus 2026
Historical journals reveal an Italian family’s courage, sacrifice, and perseverance during World War II.
The Reading Glass Books is proud to present a special showcase of Mary Ann Dratch’s novel “A Journey Through Time” at Hall 29, Mall 1 - Stand B1 at BolognaBookPlus 2026 in Bologna, Italy, from April 13 to 16.
Dratch, a former English teacher and experienced college counselor, brings to life a gripping historical narrative inspired by her family’s experiences in Bologna during World War II. The book chronicles the life of Gina MacLeary as she explores her mother’s journals, discovering how her family endured wartime pressures, helped relatives escape the Jewish ghetto, and ultimately emigrated to America.
“A Journey Through Time” immerses readers in the personal and historical realities of the era, highlighting resilience, sacrifice, and the human spirit. Through Gina’s discovery, readers gain insight into how families navigate adversity while preserving hope, love, and legacy across generations.
BolognaBookPlus, hosted alongside the renowned Bologna Children’s Book Fair, celebrates translation, illustration, and general publishing. The event features exhibitions, conferences, and networking opportunities, offering a platform for discovering stories that educate, inspire, and connect global audiences.
