Danzig, 1939 - the opening scene for World War II.  Twelve year old Magdalene is caught in the midst of devastation and turmoil.

"Get away from the train!" some one shouted. "It's fighter planes!"

Everyone pushed in panic toward the train exit and ran... over the rough, plowed field toward some bushes for cover.  Before we could get there the fighter planes returned, just a few yards above the ground, it seemed, racing toward us.  "Get down!" someone yelled.

We threw ourselves onto the field.  I looked up and could clearly see the pilot and the firing machine guns.  Dirt flew around and over us.  Some people screamed... Edith tried in panic to get up again, but I held on to her leg.  With urgent calmness I said, "Let's sing, Edith.  Let's die together"

I knew if God wanted us to come home, I was ready to go.

Danger and last-minute escapes stalked Magdalene throughout the war in Germany.  Even the post-war years were filled with tension, uncertainty and the threat of starvation.  But God was there!

A warm, gripping account of the trials and triumphs of one woman and her family and God's mercy and provision.
