This first-person narrative tells the true story of Marguerite
Kirchner, whose multicultural family was living in Germany when
WWII began. We have remained as true as possible to Marguerite's
account which reveals to readers the cruelty of war and the
innocence of past generations. As a child, her family lived a
luxurious life. Her mother was a French aristocrat, and her father
a wealthy Austrian diplomat, and so her story begins. Always
defiant, Margie was forced into a labor camp for dissident
teenagers. She attended the University of Berlin during the Berlin
bombings, became a young teacher in the Polish war zone, was
captured as a prisoner of war and escaped, and after the war,
worked for the Allied Forces, helping repatriate those who had been
displaced. Her story demonstrates cunning and great courage. She
went from affluence to poverty and survived the war on her wits
alone, dependent on only herself and the skills she'd acquired from
traveling with her family. Only after the war does she reflect on
what her single-minded struggle for survival cost her, and a new
journey, of a very different kind, begins.
