Chiseled: A Memoir of Identity, Duplicity, and Divine Wine

Chiseled: A Memoir of Identity, Duplicity, and Divine Wine

Through betrayals and loss and her search for redemption an idealistic journalist becomes the unlikely co-host to a television evangelist bent on becoming the president of the United States. When her past catches up to her, she is caught in the cross hairs of politics and religion.

In this gripping memoir, Danuta Pfeiffer grew up with parents as extraordinary as they were flawed.John and Patricia Rylko and their three children lived a nomadic life, following the seasons to accommodate John's work, as a gifted sculptor during the summers, and a philandering ski instructor in the winters. They lived in a circus tent, built their first cabin, and lost it for a dollar. John Rylko flaunted his charm as a story teller, entrancing all who listened of his wartime glories as a Polish soldier, and his Silver medals in the 1936 Winter Olympics, while Patricia, a nurse, pulled double shifts at hospitals, hitchhiking to work, and feeding her family off the land with roadkill deer and blackberry pies. Those times of resiliency would have to sustain Danuta when she was raped and secretly gave birth to a baby, escaping her enraged father on a daring journey to Alaska during the storm of the century. Through betrayals and loss and her search for redemption she becomes the unlikely co-host to a television evangelist bent on becoming the president of the United States. When her past catches up to her, she is caught in the cross hairs of politics and religion. In a gutsy move, she abandons Christianity during a bicycle ride from Canada to Mexico and unravels her father's hidden life in the Carpathian Mountains of Poland, only to discover her own life hidden in the folds of resiliency,tenacity and grit. Danuta Pfeiffer now lives in a vineyard in Oregon, making fine wine with her husband Robin Pfeiffer
