Thank You God, for Leading Me Home

Charlotte Werth was born Dec. 21, 1927, in Königsberg, Germany, in what was then known as East Prussia. In this memoir, she recalls the happy times of her childhood before the Nazis took charge. At ten years old, her childhood of happy memories was about to come to an abrupt end. When the Russians seized Königsberg, she was held captive within her own city. While most ethnic Germans remaining in Königsberg died, she survived and was able to leave two years later as a refugee. Without her parents, she would have never survived what her father called "hell on earth." When she left Germany for the United States of America, he was the one who told her to make sure to tell the world her story. Despite all that she's suffered through, her zest for life comes across in full force in this tale that reveals remarkable lessons about history, perseverance, love, and forgiveness. Join her as she shares her life story in Thank You God, for Leading Me Home.
