This review is from: Towards the Light at the End of the Tunnel (Paperback)

This book has given me a perspective of life, few of us who live in this country can imagine.
The story is about a very young girl who was trapped and captured when the Red Army conquered Germany in 1945.
How she lived through the terror and unbelievable hardship during these times.
We follow her how she is able to re-unit her family which had been torn apart by terrible happenings. After finding her little brother, she can finally escape with him from the Russian/ Polish occupation.

Later her escape to West Germany, where she married and raised her own family.
Years later the lucky break for her comes by being able to immigrate to America. Her life here is not easy but by the Grace of God she survives the hardships and finally can create her own life.
Her story is inspirational and sincere . I can highly recommend this book to readers interested in the time of WW II and European History.
This book is written from the heart no doubt.

This review is from: Towards the Light at the End of the Tunnel (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book very much because it is about a young girl who survives the challenges and hardships of World War II. She has courage, determination and a deep faith that enabled her to overcome very difficult times. This book provides the history of what occurred in Berlin, Germany during this period. It is candid, truthful, and was difficult to put down because I could visualize the experiences the author expressed. It is an inspiration story about a strong, passionate person who rose above adversity to a better life. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about World War II, and to people who like an excellent story about an exceptional person.
