A Fresh Breath of Freedom: A historical novel based on a true story - Paperback

A FRESH BREATH of FREEDOM is a historical novel based on a true story. The author has cleverly entwined threads of facts with colorful strands of his own imagination into a heartfelt written tapestry. Maria suffers nightmare after nightmare during Hitler's reign of terror as Fuhrer of Germany. She is witness to his rude and savage behavior, his elite Aryan race, and the extermination of Jewish people. Hitler's Final Solution was responsible for the mass murder of over seven million innocent people. While working as a nanny in Berlin, Maria was a savior for one year old Susie, following a brutal Nazi attack on Susie's Jewish parents and older brother.

You will be totally astonished as Maria, and her sister Dorothy, flee their home in Neisse just prior to the town being leveled by Russian forces. Try to imagine; as displaced persons, trudging hundreds of miles through dangerous territory on foot with only basic necessities; not knowing from one moment to another if they would live or perish; hunger so intense that as devout Christians, they must resort to stealing. In their quest to rejoin family. Maria and Dorothy experience all of these horrors and so much more. Will Maria and her only daughter, little Susie ever achieve their ultimate goal; to finally experience new lives and fresh breaths of freedom in America?
