Download or read book How High the Larks Fly written by Christine Hamer-Hodges and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the amazing story of Ruth Lindenau, a young girl who came from Tiegenort, a lovely little village in what was then West Prussia, now Poland. It is a story of profound courage and bravery during and after WWII, the story of a person who survived three separate prison camps in her young life and how her talent and courage kept her going. Her harrowing experiences shaped her character and personality, but always her courage saved her. Snatched from her family's loving care at the age of thirteen, Ruth was sent along with a school friend to a camp far from home, where sixty-five other girls were being indoctrinated into the ways of Hitler's Third Reich. Starved of food, of affection, of all family contact, these young girls were severely punished and brainwashed. Eventually, Ruth was able to escape. It was at a time when Germany was about to lose the war, and after only a week of freedom, Ruth has to again escape with her entire village to Denmark on the frozen Baltic Sea. Two more prison camps await Ruth and her family, and the story of these experiences will astonish and enthrall the reader. Using her talent as a pianist and singer, Ruth survives, and a blossoming love story, which is absolutely forbidden, becomes the pivotal reason for the rest of her life, leaving the reader breathless with emotion and stunned with amazement.

Free-spirited and fiercely independent, Maggie adores her life of travel and adventure. But she has a secret. She can’t let go of her first and only love, renowned architect Marco Firelli, now married to her best friend Lena. When Marco drowns in a kayaking accident, Maggie rushes to the Firelli family’s summer home on San Juan Island. Once there she discovers that Marco was hiding something that could destroy his family. As fragile, perfectionistic Lena slowly falls apart, Maggie tries to provide stability for Marco and Lena’s three young children. When Maggie is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to compete in the world’s most prestigious photography competition, she thinks she’s found the answer to their problems. Then Lena makes a choice with unexpected and devastating consequences, forcing Maggie to grapple with an agonizing decision. Does she sacrifice the golden opportunity of her career or abandon the Firellis just when they need her the most? Gradually the island begins to work its magic. A century-old ritual to beckon loved ones home offers hope in the midst of sorrow. And a guilt-ridden yet compelling stranger hiding on the island may offer Maggie a second chance at love, but only if she can relinquish the past and move forward to find joy in unexpected places.
