When
Eleanor was nine-years-old her parents moved their family from New Jersey,
where Eleanor had been born, to their native Germany where Eleanor's father
had found a good job as an engineer. Unfortunately, while on the ship crossing
the Atlantic, World War II began and the family was trapped in Germany
for the next seven years. Eleanor tries to adjust while maintaining her
American identity but as the years go by and the family endures separation,
starvation, illness, bombings, and the final battle for Berlin and the
Russian invasion, survival becomes her only concern. You will not want
to put down this intense coming-of-age survival story about civilians in
Hitler's Germany. (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania
