DESCRIPTION:
""It was the first time I woke up from a nightmare, looked around, and smiled. It was the first time I tasted freedom."" according to Kristi Richardson. I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review.This lady is a tramp and that's the way I will remember her. Greta Sobel is a gutsy broad that survived by never giving up and doing what was necessary to protect her son and survive in the brutal world of Nazi's and then Communists in Romania.I saw nothing in this book that said it was an actual life story of a woman, but it certai. "Five Stars" according to fresh0288. A very good read!
It invites you to step inside the shoes of a courageous and ingenious woman. Just prior to World War II when anti-Semitism was commonplace, Greta was born into the hostile environment of a Transylvanian shtetl (Jewish village). Uneducated, penniless and now a single mother, she found herself surrounded by spiteful and often hostile men, eager to take down the attractive and street-smart Greta. As you cry for her hardships and cheer for her success, this is the story that will reemerge in your mind long after the last word is read.. She endured the hardships of motherhood during the brutal Communist regime until she was able to flee to Paris, France. Greta’s Passage is the story of one woman’s life-long struggle for acceptance, endurance and survival. And still the challenges continued. For everyone who enjoys an historical perspective, Greta’s Passage will provide the backdrop of the ever-changing Europe before, during and after the war that changed the world. As her youth was stripped away by marriage to a cruel and much older man, Greta survived her loveless marriage in Nazi-occupied Bucharest, Romania’s capital
