Overview

This traditional saga sets out an emotional parallel between its characters over time and two continents, following them through economic difficulties, separation, and despair to finally arrive at a life of acceptance and freedom, while giving the reader a window into the culture and beliefs of a people persecuted and denigrated by Nazism.
It traces the story of the survival of an admirable woman, mother of seven children, facing the hardship of an absent husband, life's adversities and an imminent war.
It follows the family through their difficult adaptation to a different life, full of the unknown, and the slow process of integration of these immigrants into a new language and customs.
The birth of the new generation, able to take root in this fertile new land that provides for their needs, at last gives rise to the culmination of the family's dream of equality and allows them to participate creatively in their new world.


* All characters in No More Tears are the creation of the author, with the exception of the public figures mentioned in the novel, such as Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt and other public persons from the period.

About the Author

Eva Abbo, was born in Bogotá, Colombia, on February 29, 1948. She completed university studies in that city and moved to Maracaibo, Venezuela in 1969, where she continued post-graduate work.
In 1979, she moved permanently with her family to Boca Raton, Florida and there taught linguistics and translation, as well as working in real estate. It was at that time that she began to delve deeply into the past history of her family, as well as taking an increasing interest in the family histories of those close to her, which marked her profoundly. Her thirst to uncover the truth of the events of those days and antipathy for human suffering led her to set down on paper this traditional family saga, based on real events, in order to provide a living memory of the past and a plea that the future will no longer record these wars that have caused so much pain, suffering and destruction.
