My Courageous Journey Towards a New Beginning: Keeping My Memories Alive

For author Philomena Thomas, coming to America was a journey. Crossing the Indian and the Atlantic Oceans and flying half way around the world to land on U.S. soil changed her in many ways. In A New Beginning, My Courageous Journey, Thomas-a Montessori teacher for forty-nine years-shares her life story. From leaving Sri Lanka in 1968, to her years as a teacher, to her worldwide travels, she expresses the passion she feels for her teaching career and the gratitude she feels for those who traveled with her on the journey. Advance Praise for My Courageous Journey towards a New Beginning "Through teaching and travels across three continents, Mrs. Thomas gives us an intimate and historical perspective on customs and events including Sri Lanka, South Africa, the U.S., and Europe. She shares her greatest satisfaction in working with children using the Montessori Method in a lifelong career of love and appreciation of the child." -Mrs. Karina Page
