“Ocker, who has contributed stories
and poems to best-selling anthologies,
is a whimsical memoirist who deftly captures the perspective of the child she once was.”

—ForeWord Review

Christa Holder Ocker has written a beautiful
memoir ... its ultimate message is one of power.
Simply that love can conquer all…

– author Charlene Ratcliff, Reviews by Charlene

. . . dramatic, tender, funny, frightening, earthy,
quirky, wise and heart-warming. The tale of young Christa and her family as they leave a comfortable home to become penniless immigrants in their quest
to survive the collapse of the Third Reich and flee the
horrors that it has unleashed, opens up to universal
themes of suffering, loss, love and hope.

– Michael Joseph, Rutgers University Rare Book Librarian

Instructor of Childeren's Literature

. . . a beautifully told story about holding on to the essential goodness of life while having to say auf Wiedersehen to home, friends, and loved ones during WWII in Germany. Christa the young girl telling the story of her indomitable German family on the run, has the spirit to soar like a bird despite shocking deprivations and losses. Her story can inspire in readers a joyous enthusiasm for living.
