Dan­na Hor­wood has spent her life stand­ing at the inter­sec­tion of past and future, inher­it­ed emo­tion­al wounds meet­ing the fierce hope of heal­ing. As a grand­daugh­ter of Holo­caust sur­vivors who rebuilt their lives from noth­ing, Dan­na is a devot­ed moth­er com­mit­ted to rais­ing her chil­dren with strength and com­pas­sion. She has spent over two decades explor­ing how resilience is formed, nur­tured, and passed across gen­er­a­tions. My Dear­est Chil­dren is a labor of love that she wrote with her whole heart as let­ters to her chil­dren, and only now feels ready to share. Encour­aged by her father Tom­my before his pass­ing, she returns to these pages with a deep­er sense of pur­pose: to offer her chil­dren, and all read­ers, a path toward courage, clar­i­ty, and con­nec­tion in light of cur­rent events that has thrust the world into tur­bu­lent times. Blend­ing her mem­oir with evi­dence-based con­cepts, Jew­ish spir­i­tu­al wis­dom, and inti­mate sto­ries from five gen­er­a­tions of her fam­i­ly, Dan­na shares both time­less and time­ly insights. Dan­na is the founder of Margaret’s Lega­cy, an orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cat­ed to Holo­caust and anti­semitism edu­ca­tion and has recent­ly expand­ed to include themes sur­round­ing multi­gen­er­a­tional heal­ing and resilience development
