This is a story of Chudoba’s parents growing up in the aftermath of World War II. Sovereignty (Manuscripts LLC) is a coming-of-age story that takes place in Central Europe following the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain, ushering in a new era. With Austria’s newfound independence, Chudoba’s parents’ lives changed. Chudoba ultimately invites us to explore how we may free our children from past familial hardships.
