Imagine being born in Germany and at the age of thirteen sent to America to live with relatives. Not only that, but your eight-year-old sister is sent too and you have to take care of her on the two-week voyage across the Atlantic. When you arrive at your destination, you find this family already has nine children and they live in Wisconsin on a small rundown farm miles from anywhere.
You live with these relatives until you're fifteen and then move in with a married cousin for a year. Then you move in with a wealthy family as their housemaid until you marry a farmer at age eighteen – at a time when the family farm was in its prime.
This woman was my mother and I am "In her place." It is written in first person present tense, making it come alive. My mother lived through the great depression, raised four children and one grandchild and succeeded because of her strong faith in God.
