These chronicles will appeal to those who have ever wondered how a woman finds the courage to cope in time of a losing war. They describe the ordinary happenings, as seen through the eyes of a young widowed nurse, at the close of World War II. This book is written in the first person and lets the reader experience the struggle and desperation of what a young Mother faces, as her the world as she knows it, is swept away.
This actual real life story portrays the last months in 1945 and the beginning of the East-German occupation. It is the time when Stalin’s shock-troops commit unspeakable atrocities.
The Historical Novel begins with Lois's pre-war naiveté that six years later culminates in the realization that her life as she had known was based on lies. The reader is immersed into the frightening world of what it feels like being a woman where the victors demand their tribute. At that moment all previously held ideals are turned into terror, horror, fear, degradation and death. These chronicles are unique. They plumb the depths of Lois’s psychological state of mind, in that they portray the commonplace occurrences of women who are being immersed into a chasm of callousness and inhumanity. The victorious Soldiers subject the women through all kinds of hell. Despite the destruction of her world Lois and her fellow women find the courage to endure.

I loved this book. It is the gripping tale of a young woman's journey through motherhood and war. As this carefree teenager becomes a wife and mother the war is raging and the German people are sure a victory is at hand. With time she and becomes a hungry and often homeless war refugee having to endure the unwanted advances of men and treating patients suffering from the inhuman carnage of the war all the while trying to protect her young son. All that she endures is because of a war perpetrated by men.I have read it 3 times as the story echoes our own family history. I look forward to a sequel. I think anyone interested in historical fiction about WWII or just WWII in general would enjoy this book. If you have relatives that lived through the war in the European theater, it is a must read.

I enjoyed reading and I hope that many People will also read John's book!
I enjoyed reading this book very much. John Berndt tells of the fears of women and how they coped after the loss of the war. Many fears and struggles we could not even imagine come to life with clarity. This puts a different spin on the horrors of war, from a woman's point of view. I look forward to the sequel.
It is one of those books that you can't put down, and a very quick read. Perfect for taking on a trip, and a good book to share with friends and family.
Once I began reading the book I found it difficult to put it aside. Five stars. I believe it would make a wonderful movie. I will be the first in line. A sequel has to be in the making. Bravo to Mr. Berndt. -Herta B.
Great book! Simply couldn't put it down. Very hard to believe this could have happened in Germany and ever so sad at the same time. The reader transposes one self into Lois and everything she endured. Everyone should read it to remind us of what WWII was all about. Jo Myers
Very interesting book which gives the reader insight into what Germany was like for the average person at the end of World War II as the Russians pillaged Germany, Very well written....a must read.
What a great story with an interesting perspective. It was fascinating to view the war from the perspective of a woman who had an active role within the war. This is definitely a must read for anyone interested in historical fiction about WWII. It is a quick read that you wont be able to put down! Looking forward to a possible sequel.
