Having been bit by the writing bug, I began to see stories all around me. When my neighbor Hilde mentioned how much she had enjoyed her Hitler Youth group, I was intrigued. Not long after that, I was helping my 100 year-old Granny pack up things and found a beautiful embroidered tablecloth that looked almost new.
“Granny, I’ve never seen you use this. Why not?”
Sadness engulfed Granny’s face. “My brother, Bud, told me he got it off a German family when he was in the war. Every time I used it, I pictured that poor German family with a bare table.”
Needless to say, it broke my heart to see her so sad. When I mentioned it to my German neighbor, Hilde stopped me.
“Tell your grandmother her brother helped a German family. We were starving after the war. So people would trade their table linens for food. If the American soldiers had not ignored the non-fraternization rules, many of us would have starved.”
Not only did this make my grandmother feel much better, at that point, I knew I had a novel that had to be written–a World War II novel written from the German civilian perspective.
When I get focused on my writing, my husband Skip and our four children think I have completely forgotten how to cook or to help on our small farm in North Carolina. When not writing, I enjoy spending time on the coast, paddle boarding, kayaking, and boating with the family.
