Published by Zondervan, makers of fine bibles etc., the thread of Maria's Christianity and faith was an obvious draw to Zondervan, here. However, it is not all that overt. This is not like reading a bible thumper's tract. Indeed, it seems He took His sweet time about aiding Maria as she endured privation and indignities from steppes nomads, Cossacks, Nazis and finally Communists in East Germany before finally being handed over to Red Cross personnel in Friedland, West Germany in 1954. For places like East Germany and England, the years after WWII were often worse for citizens than the war years. Such as obviously the case with Maria. Along with a view of those years from inside internment camps, this book start with a story that has fascinated me since reading
The Land Beyond The Forest: Facts, Figures & Fancies From Transylvania; the story of far-flung German-speaking enclaves penetrating east toward Russia and maintaining a Tuetonic culture.
