The Rings Of My Tree: A Latvian Woman's Journey

"Cunningham captures the nuances of this woman's personality and experiences precisely and movingly...[She] has even written it as a first-person account - a daring move, but one at which she was surprisingly successful...This slender volume is highly recommended for anyone willing to take a moment to appreciate what makes us all different...and what makes us all the same." - Midwest Book Review A young Latvian woman is caught up in a whirlwind of war forcing her into an unnatural migration for life. Her life is saved by good timing, acts of kindness, her own passivity, and a stranger in uniform. A story of extraordinary strength and honesty. An insight into daily living inside Nazi Germany for those forced to fly before they had wings of courage.
