Eleanor Ramrath Garner is coming to Alpine
ALPINE- Saturday, June 5 at 1 p.m., Eleanor Ramrath Garner,
who is the author of award winning young adult memoir
Eleanor's Story: An American Girl in Hitler's Germany will
be at the Alpine Library.
This book (available for check-out at the Alpine Library,
while supplies last!) is the compelling story of an American
teenager caught up in the daily struggles of surviving World
War II in Berlin. Readers will learn what it was like to
live under a totalitarian regime without freedom of speech
and the press, where fear ruled every aspect of life. The
story takes us through bombings, evacuations, the final
battle for Berlin, and the terrors of Soviet occupation.
Above all the reader will learn the sustaining values of
love and family, the gift of friendship, the celebration of
traditions in the midst of a collapsing world, and the
realization that even in the darkest times the heart can
still dance, that hope never really dies.
Eleanor will speak about her experiences writing
the book, and copies will be available for book-signing. The
Alpine Friends of the Library Association (ALFA) will
provide refreshments.
