My Peace of The Wall Ebook

Ordinary events in the author's American life such as the slicing of a stick of butter into small 'Little Yellow Squares', opened the floodgates of memories reflecting the 1945 American Army food distribution in Germany. Triggered by her Marine son saying 'farewell' due to the Iraq conflict in 1992, the emotional essay 'A Few Days Left' reflects the unimaginable agony of war as a daughter, a wife and as a mother by recalling her father's incarceration in a Nazi concentration camp, and her husband's tours of duty in Vietnam. A 2009 chance meeting with a 1948 Berlin Air Lift 'Raisin Bomber' crew member connected the dots of her life. This fact-filled, detailed account of cataclysmic events in world history including the duration and the fall of the Berlin Wall is a 'must read' for everyone interested in historical truth.
