The war was raging in 1943, the year that I was born.\u003cbr\u003eCommunist doctrine ruled. We live in East Berlin - behind the Iron Curtain. Freedom was lost. Choice was eliminated. As teens, my best friend and I became unhappy with our life's situation. Our only way out was to escape!\u003cbr\u003e* Would we get past the border police whose orders were to kill? They were everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e* Would we make it through the tall barbed wire unharmed? The barbs were razor sharp.\u003cbr\u003e* What would my family think of me? I had to leave them behind.\u003cbr\u003eIce cold fear flowed through my veins, my friend became hysterical, but the time was now - or never - for the renewed chance of freedom. That's all that I wanted. Surrender was not an option!\u003cbr\u003eMy true story is from a first-person perspective, taking you from my harrowing escape, to an almost debilitating loneliness; the struggle to learn a new language, and finally the happiness that comes from true freedom.","brand":"Gisela Butler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50061964247280,"sku":"9780615986180","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780615986180_p0.jpg?v=1784730932","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615986180","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
