I read the companion book, "Yesterday's Sand hills" which is written by the lady's second child, and enjoyed it to the point where I immediately wanted to read her Mother's account of the forced labor period. I expected just a couple of chapters in this very well priced kindle book, but found it to be much more in-depth than I expected. It was a good idea to use this material as a second book rather than to have tried to include it with the daughter's story, ...because there is so much material in both accounts, and the forced labor period really has little to do with the struggles that her children encountered back in Germany after the war.

Getrud is strong willed- often her husband just gives up what is prudent ( to keep walking as the Russians close in) because she refuses to cooperate. This strong will comes in handy later at a Russian prison camp, while many men give up mentally and die on the train ride into Russia.
I personally found the narration in abandoned and Forgotten to be more vivid and gripping hence the 4
I highly recommend this for people who are curious enough to learn of the experiences of "the defeated enemy" as there appears to be very little material on the subject
