Bertha: Shine Like the
Dawn is the true story of Bertha, the author’s great-grandmother, born into
relative wealth and comfort in 1860 Germany, orphaned as a baby, and
begrudgingly raised by two sets of grandparents.
Violated by her uncle
at seventeen, Bertha becomes pregnant and is quickly married off to a man
beneath her standing. After enduring years of domestic violence and forced
pregnancies, she finally walks away with four young children and with only her
grandmother in Berlin for support. Once there, Bertha finds love with a
mysterious man—but will it last?
Bertha, who lives
through the turn of the century, the sinking of the Titanic, the First World
War, the Spanish Flu, The Great Depression, and the Second World War, accepts
whatever life gives her, with courage and passion, but most of all with love.
This is a tender
romance, filled with compassion and many unexpected turns in life. Bertha
experiences unbelievable trials, tribulations, and triumphs, as well as great
love and great loss. Readers will cheer for her, cry for her, and love with
her.
