This is the amazing story of Ruth Lindenau, a young girl who came from Tiegenort, a lovely little village in what was then West Prussia, now Poland. It is a story of profound courage and bravery during and after WWII, the story of a person who survived three separate prison camps in her life and how her talent and courage kept her going. Her harrowing experiences shaped her character and personality, but always her courage saved her. Snatched from her family's loving care at age 13, Ruth was sent along with a school friend to a camp far from home, where sixty- five other girls were being indoctrinated into the ways of Hitler's Third Reich. Starved of food, affection, of all family contact, these young girls were severely punished and brainwashed. Eventually, Ruth was able to escape. It was a time when Germany was about to lose the war, and after only a week of freedom, Ruth had to again escape with her entire village to Denmark on the Frozen Baltic Sea. Two more prison camps await her and her family, and the story of these experiences will enthrall the reader. Using her talent as a pianist and singer, Ruth survives, and a blossoming love story, which is absolutely forbidden, becomes the pivotal reason for the rest of her life, leaving the reader breathless with emotion and stunned with amazement.

We're Going to Fly High Chrisjan Jordaan's life, love and lasting legacy, and the fatal flight that rocked a nation By Redhead, Valmai. SIGNED BY AUTHOR, with large gift inscription to owner. Publisher: Torn Curtain Publishing, 2023, first edition. Near new softback. 153 pages, illustrated. On a crisp early morning in 2012, eleven people boarded a hot air balloon in New Zealand's Wairarapa district for what should have been an idyllic flight. Less than an hour later, that flight became the deadliest ballooning disaster ever to occur in New Zealand's history. Chrisjan Jordaan and his girlfriend Alexis, were among the passengers. As his family and friends reeled from the news, Chrisjan's life and legacy became a source of inspiration and motivation to many. From his roots in South Africa, to the farming communities of Gore, to his student days at Southland Boy's High School and later in Wellington, We're Going to Fly High tells of a young man full of faith and adventure whose character, courage and passion continues to impact another generation. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. All books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand.
