    I had been alone before, surrounded by the abyss's darkness and demons' red eyes. The void had seemed endless, with no hope of escape or salvation from the horrors that awaited me. But now, I stood firm, determined never to let anyone conquer my mind again. The more they tried to put me down, the more I pushed back with all my strength, showing them who I was and what I could achieve. And I would succeed- oh yes, I would succeed- so they could never forget who I was and what I had accomplished. The sound of distant screams echoed in my ears as I raised my head high, ready to face whatever lay ahead. I was the magic they wanted, but because I didn't submit to their way of control, they started working against me. So I reached deep inside myself and found something I did not understand, a force-like power that made my fists clench involuntarily and turn away the glances of those who would get close to me. They had never seen anything like it in anyone else before. 
Based on true events and compiled from the author's life, from the beginnings of teenage life through the struggles with drugs, relationships, and victories of adulthood to funny little snippets and some outrageous stories and encounters. He takes you through this journey from a young age, living in a small town in Denmark, being stuck with no way out, and to his start on a new chapter, moving to the UK with only the clothes on his back, making it through as a chef and gardener, meeting some incredible and many times unsavory characters on the way, turning his life around only to get kicked down again and again, fighting back. Until he met his wife-to-be, emigrated to Australia, and then the battles to come. Starting all over again, with no friends or family around, the darkest clouds, they are only coming closer to the real struggles they had just begun, alone in the land down under.

    Three young Jewish sisters from Leipzig, Germany huddle together in the cold darkness of night waiting for their smugglers to rescue them and bring them to freedom in Belgium. Their mother, in a state of shock following Kristallnacht, is left behind, sedated in a psychiatric hospital. November 1938 begins the four year ordeal of the seven member Kroch family who endure unfathomable conditions in their fight for survival: imprisonment in French internment camps, hiding in a tiny tool shed, and adapting to the deplorable conditions of a Nazi prison. The memoirs of Alexandra, age eleven, and her sisters, fifteen year old Eva and fourteen year old Judith, interweave as they recount the true story of their escape from the Nazis. 
 
 
 
Leaving behind their life of luxury, the girls describe unimaginable hunger, deprivation, and fear. Family love, music, and the close friendship of strangers are the essential ingredients that sustain them through the hardships they face. A narrative backdrop threads through the story, providing the socio-political context. From a historical perspective and from the three sisters' witness accounts, the listener will come to understand the progression of antisemitism in Germany and France, the course by which Hitler dismantled democracy, the role France adopted as Nazi collaborators, and how the Swiss policies towards Jews were executed.
