This book is about real life, real people and how the World Wars interfered along the way. Dorothea von Schwanenflugel Lawson is a native German, born during World War I, who provides an inside look into a part of history familiar to many of us through textbooks and media accounts only. She takes you from her happy childhood to World War II and beyond, weaving memories and German traditions into the politics that dictated everyday life. Meet her family and friends. Be there for 's book burning, the air raids and the intense bombing of Berlin. See how she fared in wartime Germany with a small child, the Soviet invasion with its rampant looting and raping, and the ever-present hunger and other deprivations, especially during the post-war years.
