Angela's mother was a secret agent for the American military government. WWII was over, Angela was five, but vividly remembers her family's flight from the Russian army and wandering "like stray dogs" for nine months. Earlier, to reunite the family, Angela's grandfather had hiked the Ural Mountains alone in winter and navigated the Volga River disguised as a Russian Orthodox priest, all the while winning money by playing cards with three ordained priests. Settling on the outskirts of Stuttgart, the family housed fourteen refugees in a one-bedroom apartment. Each of these personalities is seen against the historical background of post-war Allied atrocities against German citizens, conveniently omitted from the "official" history texts (Eisenhower death camps and engineered famine). Among these refuges were: ~ A fifteen-year old holocaust survivor ~ A sixteen-year old musician, a "Swing Kid," who fought against Hitler ~ A writer who knew too much and had to be concealed ~ An elderly couple from Silesia, part of post-war forced migration, perhaps the single greatest movement of population in human history ~ An unwed mother, kicked out by her village, who enlists Angela to raid farmers' fields at night for food Other prominent persons: ~ An outwardly ordinary shepherd who taught Angela to meditate, helping her through her war experiences and adding spiritual dimensions to her life ~ Albrecht Leo Merz, senator, architect, artist-teacher, and founder of the Merz Schule, which was designated as a "model school" by UNESCO ~ A streetcar driver who spoke only in classical rhymes ~ Viemsie, a black market contact, for whom Angela and her best friend collected cigarette butts and raided American garbage cans There was never enough food, but life was diverse and culturally rich. It ends when Angela's mother announces that she and her two girls will immigrate to the U.S.A., leaving all they love behind.

This is one of the many ‘what if’s’ regarding that precious child’s life that we will never know. But now, Angela Mailander, a contemporary of Anne’s, grew up and writes about her own experiences of war-torn Germany with the same intelligence and sensitivity that bespeaks not only her mastery of the English language, but her brilliance in understanding the human condition.Anne Frank came to mind because Angela’s experience was communal like hers, living in tight quarters with many other relatives and strangers, both during the war and in post-war Germany. Angela’s memoir has all the earmarks of a classic—incredible story-telling and a poetic description of situations that illustrates many of Dr. Mailander’s talents.

Grayson I've just passed the 3rd chapter, and I already wish I had nothing else to do, so I could lay in bed and read it straight through to the end. Everyone should read it. It's witty and charming, dealing with some heavy issues with a lighthearted child's heart.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Movie Material By B.K. Worcester Dr. Angela Mailander's compelling memoir of her early years in wartime and postwar Germany offers a glimpse into the dynamics that helped structure the fine artist, scholar, poet, political activist and humanitarian that she is. ANGELA is a timeless commentary on the-deep reaching effectsof war, and gives wonderful evidence of those great individuals who have been able to survive and thrive even in the most adverse circumstances. It reads like a well-crafted movie script with vivid imagery, engaging dialogue and a cast of most memorable characters. I will read it again & again!
