A placid, azure blue sky surrounded me for now. To be sure, there had been turbulence before, and there would likely be turbulence again. But for now, it was calm and I had long since learned to weather a storm. It is autumn, 2012 and I'm planning an expedition - a pilgrimage of sorts. Traveling to my place of birth to visit the family I left behind so far away, I yearn to re-trace my roots. Far below, ghostly clouds pass indifferently, as indifferently as the mists of time have passed by me. As we near our destination, I close my eyes and remember that day years ago, and the younger woman who left under such different circumstances. The younger woman left with nothing. My older version returns as a self-made woman. I left as a German and returned as a German-American. We left at a moment's notice, those years long ago. Only two weeks before I left the first time, I could never have foreseen any reason to hotfoot it to Switzerland, nor any necessity to immigrate to the United States. Yet, for all my changes in fortune now I am, in many ways, the same person who took that leap of faith years ago - a survivor, a maker, a take-it-as-it-comes kind of woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Renata Plitzko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 373576472X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783735764720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Books on Demand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.33d","brand":"Renata Plitzko","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073694724351,"sku":"9783735764720","price":18.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa5a6001-20fc-433b-98a3-542e7ab3d13c.jpg?v=1685449347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/struggle-and-chaos-in-three-renata-plitzko-9783735764720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
