Abstract:
What was it like to live with nightly air attacks and gnawing hunger under Nazi tyranny? Under the Russian occupation? Or as a refugee? Captivating anecdotes capture a young woman’s experiences in the Old World and the New, where she continues her studies and eventually marries. Whether keeping cool in the tropics or roughing it at sea with three men and a baby, her tales reflect warmth and wisdom. When left penniless and divorced in San Francisco, challenges begin in earnest, but her love of life is not dampened. With compelling humor and courage she rebuilds her life. A fast-paced, exhilarating story, inspiring and true.
