Born in 1923 in Stubberup, Denmark, Inge Buus enjoyed an idyllic childhood on her father's farm, Klostergaarden. Though she never mastered the art of milking cow, she picked up many other practical homemaking skills that would serve her well throughout her life. An excellent student, she learned to speak English without a trace of an accent. In 1940 she witnessed the German invasion of Denmark. When she came of age, she moved to Copenhagen and found employment during the brutal Nazi occupation, under which she became accustomed to German tanks rumbling menacingly through the town square and armed soldiers demanding to see her Ausweis card. She worked as a bookkeeper at the largest shipyard in Denmark, which, as it was now forced to manufacture U-boat engines for the German navy, became a prime target for both Allied bombers and the Danish Resistance. When the war was over, Inge met a charismatic GI at a dance. After a whirlwind courtship, Inge agreed to marry Sergeant Bob Peterson and start a new life in the States. Eventually settling down on an undeveloped plot of land in rural New Jersey and camping out in the wild without running water or electricity, the resourceful couple built their dream house with their own hands.Included in the memoir is a selection of photos from my mother's albums, depicting her childhood and young adulthood in Denmark and her subsequent life in America.
This book is the final book in a trilogy which chronicles the journey of the main character as she travels through time. In this volume, her experience takes her from an earthly reality into a spiritual reality, often referred to as the Other Side. She finds herself in an extraordinary, dynamic, spiritual realm.
This book is the second in a trilogy in the form of fictional novels. Volume two is told from the perspective of a child growing into an adult experiencing life on planet Earth. The details are not as important as the central theme. As you read this story, keep in mind the basic truth. The intent is to relate lifelike situations common to all of us.It is creative, tantalizing, full of insight, touching, absorbing, emotional, beautiful, sympathetic, deeply human, tragic and humorous.
The passing of time can be as as meaningful, or as meaningless as a glimmer of water, or as painful as a SHARD OF GLASS. No matter what period, it illuminates, and briefly washes over, in its hastes to tell yet another story, as timeless as history itself, it casts its magic.Such is the story of Zac Guthrie, an Anglo-American youngster, one might say affected by both phenomena.The world tells him he is ill, and treat him as such, nut in reality, it is no more than a 'gift' or a 'curse' he possesses, which sends him off into the realms of the past. Not of his control or dictate, it goes where it wills, with him enchainecl.Each interwoven, yet separate story tells another aspect of one of his lives in an intimate, heart breaking way, one cannot fail to empathize with.As you read, go with him every step of his journey, marvel at his tenacity, bravery, and heart wrenching moments.Don't try to understand the logic, the reasoning behind it, for there is none. It is, as it is, and always will be!
