Based on the true story of two young people who became heroes, winner of eight awards - Surviving the Fatherland is the triumphant, epic tale of two youths whose courage and resilience stands for the forgotten childhood of an entire generation.This book needs to join the ranks of the classic survivor stories of WWII such as Diary of Anne Frank and Mans Search for Meaning. It is truly that amazing! InDtaleMagazineSpanning thirteen years from 1940 to 1953 and set against the epic panorama of WWII, author Annette Oppenlanders SURVIVING THE FATHERLAND is a sweeping saga of family, love, and betrayal that illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the childrens war.Solingen, Germany, 1940: When her father goes off to war, seven-year-old Lilly is left with an unkind mother who favors her brother and chooses to ignore the lecherous pedophile next door. A few blocks away, twelve-year-old Günter also loses his father to the draft and quickly takes charge of supplementing his familys ever-dwindling rations by any means necessary.As the war escalates and bombs begin to rain, Lilly and Günters lives spiral out of control. Every day is a fight for survival. On a quest for firewood, Lilly encounters a dying soldier and steals her fathers last suit to help the man escape. Barely sixteen, Günter ignores his draft call and embarks as a fugitive on a harrowing 47-day ordeal--always just one step away from execution.When at last the war ends, Günter grapples with his brothers severe PTSD and the fact that none of his classmates survived. Welcoming denazification, Lilly takes a desperate step to rid herself once and for all of her disgusting neighbors grip. When Lilly and Günter meet in 1949, their love affair is like any other. Or so it seems. But old wounds and secrets have a way of rising to the surface once more.Awards2017 National Indie Excellence Award, 2019 Gold Global eBook Award, 2018 Indie B.R.A.G.
