Birgit Streuffert Quam

Worlds Apart, a Memoir of an Emigrant Girl Birgit Streuffert Quam

This book will take you on an adventure that begins in Hamburg during WW II. As a child Birgit Quam journeyed to Amrum, a distant island in the North Sea where she spent her childhood, and then continues as she crossed the storm-tossed Atlantic to New York City. In her transition from child to woman you are privy to the abuses and heart aches that torment her. Interweaving her story is an incredible sense of humor as we finally meet a SURVIVOR, who learns to forgive and who lives life to its fullest.
