Synopsis

"A rich memoir of coming to America from war....I felt a rush of emotion unlike any I had ever felt." —Pamela Sue Martin, actress, Dynasty

"Loving this book...a must read." —Sherilyn Fenn, actress, Twin Peaks

After my father's death in 2015, I came upon my mother's journal. She had passed away quite suddenly in 1978 at the age of 44. I thought I’d known her so well, but through her journal, I discovered so much more. I learned about my German roots, how she met and married my American dad, and left her family to cross an ocean for love. To me, as a working actress, my mom’s story reads like a movie. I wanted to share her journey with the world, so I turned it into a memoir and called it, Tishi.

Tishi—that was my mom’s nickname—came to the United States from Germany after surviving World War II, just as Germany began thriving. I was surprised by how progressive she was and how she viewed America. In a world torn apart by race and death, Tishi paints a unique picture of post-war life and how it shaped this particular German woman into a modern American feminist, a passionate wife and a fiercely loving mother.
