Book Nook - From Budapest to Hollywood: Searching for the Promised Land

 


Cozy up on the couch this holiday season and read the life adventure/non-fiction From Budapest to Hollywood: Searching for the Promised Land, a memoir by Katherine MK Mitchell.  Mitchell’s most recent work puts readers in the passenger seat as she takes them on a journey through the many lives she’s lived in a whirlwind of grit, glamor and getting back up again.  

Get to know Katherine; As an agent. A screenwriter. A mother. A novelist. Most importantly, a human.


Katherine’s story begins in a Nazi-infested Hungary during World War II where she recounts some of her earliest memories, until a Russian invasion becomes the catalyst to shake up life as she knew it. Prompting her family to flee from a communist takeover, they find refuge in New York. Little did she know, this was just one of many trials and tribulations she would find along the way to building a career in Hollywood. Mitchell gives her audience a chance to see through her eyes as she perseveres through obstacles, including some as a gymnast or as she jumps from a plane. 

Katherine MK Mitchell reminds readers of the necessity of honoring your past, savoring the present and looking towards the future in one's pursuit of purpose. Suitable for any loved one that enjoys topics varying from history, Hollywood show business, screenwriting, self-discovery, motherhood and tales of triumph. Of all of the lessons she strives to teach, she insists the most important is to “be who you are until you find out who you want to be.” During the season of giving, this page turner is what the bookworm in your life wants to find in their gift bag.
