Antje was born & raised in former East Germany. She always had a sense of adventure. After the fall of the German Wall, she could not wait to leave her home & explore other countries & meet new people and gather different perspectives.
Now, she is a wife and mom of two teenagers living in Eastern Pennsylvania. As her kids grew up, she realized how important it is to tell her childhood story to them. Her book omits any political agenda and facts, but rather provides a more intimate perspective that goes beyond the news headlines of the "Cold War" era.
Her book received an honorable mention at the 2018 Hollywood Book Festival.
