"Once Upon a Time in Sweden" is an account of Greta Smith's life in Sweden. Much of the book is derived from first-hand accounts of what took place during the war years and from letters that were sent to and from Greta's father in California.
​ 
“A young mother and her four-year-old daughter traveled from California to Sweden to visit family members. They expected to stay a month.  Little did they know it would be twenty-seven months before they were able to return to the United States of America. This is a journal about my life in Sweden during those turbulent times in Europe before and at the beginning of World War ll.  The year was 1938.” - Greta Smith
