My Life in Fear

"My Life in Fear is a true story of my life, starting in Post-World War II in Germany and going forward through my eighteenth birthday. My eighteenth birthday was the start of my new life. Through the pages in my book, I hope you will gain a good understanding of the conditions Germany was in during the depression. Times were extremely tough back then and I'm sure some could relate.

I feel my story needs to be shared because I am a fortunate survivor of a terrible childhood, filled with abuse, fear and most of all neglect. There's that old saying: "You Learn What You Live." I learned never to be like my parents. If it weren't for the love of my paternal grandmother, I would not have survived it all. She was the most kind hearted person I knew and she too had to live her life in fear."
