There are two types of people in the world: Those who walk into a room and say, “Well here I am,” and those who come and in say, “Ah, there you are.”

For a sneak peek at the first 20+ pages of my memoir, Walled-In: A West Berlin Girl’s Journey to Freedom, click “Download a free excerpt” on my home page. Feel free to follow my blog about anything German: historic and current events, people, places or food.
Walled-In is my story of growing up in Berlin during the Cold War. Juxtaposing events that engulfed Berlin during the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, the Berlin Wall and Kennedy’s Berlin visit with the struggle against my equally insurmountable parental walls, Walled-In is about freedom vs. conformity, conflict vs. harmony, domination vs. submission, loyalty vs. betrayal.
