I Shall Not Fail: Between Two Worlds is an astonishingly detailed account of one woman’s determination to make a better life for herself and her children. This inspiring memoir chronicles Maria Bandol’s journey from the political and social repression of Romania following the 1989 Revolution, and the two years she spent with her family in Italy as political refugees. That refugee experience included adjusting to a new language and culture, facing scarcity and occasional substandard housing, confronting endless challenges, and a gnawing feeling of despair. But it also included beautiful and unforgettable moments of grace, gratitude and generosity, and friendships that made the unbearable bearable.

While Maria laboured to preserve her dignity, fight for her rights, feed her children, and ensure that they not only continued but excelled at their schooling, she spent countless hours trying to find a new country to call home.
