Readers react:
". . . I had no idea that there were Germans who suffered as much - if not more! - than those we always hear about. . . "
". . . What I liked best about your book is that you tell about an ethnically cohesive group that did not sell out on its values . . . "
". . . I now appreciate my German heritage as I never did before. This book has brought home to me that there were German soldiers seen as liberators, not destroyers . . . !"
• The Furies and the Flame - an autobiography / Arena Press, 1984, hardcover.
Readers react:
". . . a soaringly passionate epic about one courageous woman's battle to find love, identity and meaning in a world hostile to her aspirations. A remarkable woman who has put the substance of her life into the kind of narrative that grips us with the candor of its confession and the power of its perception. . ."
". . . I feel as if I know the author because she writes with such passion, clarity and energy. . . '
". . . no other book has hit me as this one did. No other writer has ever shared as the author did. "Furies" haunts me, bothers me, pains me--so why, then, is it so beautiful . . .?"
