Riassunto

Lurking in the corridors of WWII lazarettos are tales of triumph and tragedy, lives won and lost, and love that blossomed, in spite of a horrifically harsh environment. This is where the story of the Keyser family begins, when a Czech nun, falls in love with a critically ill German soldier and follows him into the unknown. By illuminating four generations who suffered unspeakable losses yet never faltered, the reader journeys through the horrors of WWII, the hardships of post-war Germany, and the turmoil of a bad marriage only to be transported across the Atlantic Ocean on a 36-foot sailboat and to a new life of love and adventure for Brigitte and her family. Both heartwarming and heartbreaking in the blink of an eye, stories emerge behind stories, exposing desires, failures, and victories that let people persevere. This inspiring tale of physical and emotional survival is beautifully recounted.
