Overview

This autobiography is told through the eyes of a child growing into a teen from the last gasping thousand-year empire of Hitler into the equally evil government of East Germany, a life that had no normal childhood and a life of tears and fear and no future. Only being allowed to migrate to the US at age twenty-one changed the author's life. Gretel Timan grew up in East Germany and struggled with discrimination and restriction because her father was a ""capitalist."" She had contact with her American aunt, and worst, she refused to join the Soviet-German friendship. In 1957, she emigrated to the US, and her life changed dramatically. In her words, she became a ""butterfly."" She now lives in North Carolina and is forever grateful to be allowed to live in freedom and democracy.
