Acknowledgements
I would like to thank the women who offered their time and their extraordinary, heartfelt life-stories. Their motivation to seek out the stories of loved ones in order to find their own is an inspiration to me and, I hope, to those who read this book. I lovingly thank my mother and father, Gülbahar and Muzzafer Yekenkurul. By telling me their stories, they were responsible for laying out the early foundations for what became this book. I thank them for their voices. I would not have recognised their struggles and sacrifices if they remained silent. I offer my deepest gratitude to Helen Lee, Gwenda Tavan, Anne-Maree Sawyer, Diane Wolf, Marty Grace, Chris Eipper, Karl Smith, Marcus Maloney, Sara James, Mark Scillio, Canan Biricik, and Cathrin Bernhardt for their support, advice, feedback, and encouragement over the years. And to Mark Mallman. Many times, you have pulled me out of my self-inflicted insecurities and doubt. You understood me when I struggled to articulate. You speak my language. Thank you for being there.
