Quiet Hero : Secrets From My Father's Past
by Rita Cosby

Six years after her mother died, Rita Cosby found all kinds of stuff about her father, hidden in storage, that she never knew before about him. Too many scars about what happened to him in Poland during WWII. When her father is 84, she finally interviews him.
Cosby is supposed to be this award-winning journalist who knows how to ask tough questions. The problem is her way of presenting them to her father is irritating and with an air of naivete. I couldn't stand it. Plus, her writing is less than stimulating. Most of it seems juvenile.
I would have liked to have read about her father's exploits during the war, but let somebody else write about it.
