Vera Mueller only thirteen when Kristallnacht shattered her world, wrenching her from her family and forcing her to flee to safety. In fact, her life had just begun - for out of the chaos of war was born a passion to survive. It will take her from the horror of WW II through its devastating aftermath - from her fateful marriage to a US soldier - through the struggle to build a life together in America - from the pain and joy of motherhood through the heady liberations of the sixties. Vera's strength born of hardship and tragedy helps her overcome adversity and forge bonds of love and friendship that will last a lifetime and beyond.

Very good reading.
