What is the purpose of my life? What is friendship? What is faith?
These universal questions, which are especially relevant to young
adults, form the heart of this compelling story, told through real
letters and diary entries. Anni, who grows from her teenage years
to adulthood over the course of the book, is passionate about life
and unsparing in her search for authenticity. Articulate and
probing, her words have a contemporary ring as she plumbs the
reality of her doubt and sense of spiritual loneliness. Then she
experiences a call from God - and finds a life of purpose, faith,
and joy. In Anni's own words: "It is infinitely reassuring to know
that there is an absolute truth, an infinitely great love. It is
wonderful to know that one does not have to squander one's life,
one does not need to ask anymore what life is really for, what its
purpose is." Heightening the drama of this coming-of-age memoir is
the historical setting in 1920s Germany, as the specter of Nazism
looms ever larger over the world of Anni and her friends, giving
their questions about life's meaning a special poignancy.
