America was not about freedom & the American Dream when Agathe arrived..... "After the first ten years of my life as a refugee on the front lines, I had survived unspeakable horrors and was looking forward to immigrating to America when I was a teenager. Having heard stories about life in the United States from the American G.I'.s occupying Germany, giving me hope that I could achieve the American dream too. But, with good intentions my mother married me off to the first American man who showed an interest in me. With unexpected, horrible results, at sixteen I found myself married to a diagnosed sociopath. After living in emotional hell for thirteen years, I found myself having to support two small children without the benefit of an education or any job skills.This led to a lot of poor choices since I had never learned to choose for myself - only to follow orders. Through a lifetime of errors I corrected one mistake at a time until now, at age seventy-eight I am finely living the dream I'd always hoped for! I am married to a very kind and loving man who treats me with the respect I deserve - as any human being has a right to. I live life in beautiful So. Oregon, in a lovely home, nice community, and have the pleasure of my children being respectable, contributing citizens of society. It has been a long journey but worth it. I hope you will read my book, take the journey of my life and written words, and see how much one woman can endure"...
