The title of Helen Papanikolas second collection of short stories, "The Apple Falls from the Apple Tree," is taken from an old Greek proverb and speaks of the new generation s struggle with the vestiges of Greek customs.

Although they live far from the old Greek towns, we see their rivalries, envy of the successful, and hubris as they respond to their experiences of intermarriage, old age, and loss. The...

A Greek Odyssey in the American West begins with Helen Papanikolas discussing her childhood in Helper, Utah. Helper's population was as odd a conglomeration as could be found anywhere in the West: French sheepherders; Chinese and Japanese restaurant owners; African American, Greek, and Italian rail and coal workers; and finally, Mormon, Jewish, and Slav businessmen settled in and around Helper, a way station for the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. This book, however, is not Papanikolas's life story but the story of her parent's individual emigrations to the United States, their...

In her evocative and meticulously researched book "An Amulet of Greek Earth," author Helen Papanikolas... The boys and men who left their Greek valley and mountain villages in the early 1900s for America came with amulets their mothers had made for them. S...
