Where do you begin when faced with a traumatic change? Most Americans cannot even begin to fathom the life carefully painted within the pages of this book. How do you survive as a young German girl when World War II emerges and dictatorship tears through your village, destroying your family, your friends, your neighbors, your food, and ultimately, your life? Feel the trembling of the earth beneath your feet as mortar shells rain down on your home. Screams of tortured, raped, and mutilated women echo through the streets. Envision real-time war, death, starvation, and intense hardships that leave you empty and disillusioned. Every day is a struggle. In the midst of that darkness, God calls your heart and feeds your soul, filling that void and pain with joy and peace as only God can do. Brace yourself for a true God experience that will stir a spiritual hunger within your soul, driving you to seek him more than ever before. Watch as God pours out his love, protection, and provision before your very eyes on this family, showing he is ever present and always faithful. Let this inspire you to dig deeper in your walk with God to grow you physically, emotionally, and spiritually for the tomorrows ahead. Paula Cochran
