After the war, Rita was befriended by an American Army major, and eventually they fell in love and married. She became one of many war brides that arrived in this country during the years after the war. Her story continued as she made a life for herself with her husband and raised three children. Much of her life was a mental, emotional and physical struggle. This is her story. 49 photos, 1 map, 5 illustrations, 7 documents. A Merriam Press Autobiography.
