Dance with Me, Papa: Confessions of a Nasty Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781312003705)

"ABSORBING WITH A TINGE OF SADNESS ... as this engrossing, memorable memoir shows, Reinecker's journey to discover who and what led her to be the person she is today has allowed her to make peace with her past." -Kirkus Reviews Loved this book! Dance with Me, Papa is a fascinating portal into WWII Germany and the years that followed through the eyes of Rita Reinecker, daughter of the famous German writer, Herbert Reinecker. Lush with poignant and gracefully captured memories, Reinecker presents her readers a vividly unique yet universal perspective of a young child moving, haltingly, through the rocky landscape of adolescence into adulthood. Reinecker invites us on her journey to understand her life and life choices through her exploration of her relationship with both parents-a beloved father who was emotionally and physically unavailable, and a mother whose love included liberal amounts of shame. Reinecker's memoir is beautifully written and insightful. -Julie Berg
