Donna Gawell is the author of several historical novels, nonfiction history books, and journal articles. Her newest release, Our Galician Ancestors, is available on Amazon.  In the Shadow of Salem War, Resistance in the Wilderness, and The Young Partisans are available on Amazon.

Donna is holding a hand-painted plate from the Hupka Manor House.  It was presented to her as a gift by the mayor of Niwiska, her grandparents’ village in Poland.  She views the gift as the equivalent of receiving the keys to a city.
