About this Item

Paperback. The Greatest Gift. At the age of five, Andrew Bienkowski was banished to Siberia with his family. With virtually nothing to see them through the long, cold winter, his grandfather chose to starve to death in order to give his family a chance of survival. The years that followed were harrowing and difficult but, nevertheless, magical. Warmed by the unexpected kindness of strangers and the beauty of the natural landscape, Andrew's childhood experience in Siberia forever altered his approach to life. In spite of early setbacks he became inspited to give back, devoting his life to helping others through his work as a clinical therapist. As Andrew shares his experiences in Siberia he reminds us that the greatest fulfilment we can achieve as human beings lies in helping others. 254 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
