    by Tammy a. Borden (Author)

    She's just an ordinary German girl with an extra measure of grit. In a time when defying the Nazis means certain death, she follows her heart and risks it all. A remarkable true story.

    Germany 1937. Waltraud's life in her small German village is heartwarmingly simple yet fraught with uncertainty as Nazi ideologies grow ever more radical. Then, war. Her beloved father is forced into Hitler's army and she must cope with the battles raging around her and in her heart as her family is torn apart.

    Bombings, hunger, and gut-wrenching horrors bring Waltraud to the edge of defeat. But she persists, daringly resisting the Nazis by keeping a treasonous secret. Heartache remains when the bombs stop falling, but a young man with a dark past holds the promise of a better future. To secure it, she must cross forbidden borders. Can Waltraud leave her haunting past behind and take hold of the life she's dreamed of, or will she lose everything trying?

    Engaging and evocative, Waltraud: A True Story of Growing Up in Nazi Germany pulls back the curtain on what life was like before, during, and after World War II from a German girl's perspective-the indoctrination, fear, and profound loss. Walk alongside Waltraud on her journey in this captivating true story of strength, hope, and survival. A beautiful and inspiring literary nonfiction novel that demonstrates what real courage and resilience look like in the face of unspeakable evil.

    AUTHOR'S NOTE
    Author, Tammy Borden, is a first-generation American who grew up hearing her mother, Waltraud's, first-hand accounts of coming of age under Hitler's regime. Through the years, she secretly recorded her mother's extraordinary stories, fully intent on writing a WW2 historical fiction novel based on a true story, even taking several trips with her to Germany to walk the cobblestone streets where recollections were shared in their actual settings. In-depth research combined with her mother's vivid memories allowed the author to weave Waltraud's story into an eye-opening and compelling narrative that captures everyday life during the rise and fall of the Third Reich, making it both historically accurate and deeply moving.
