About This Book
A LIFE OF HER OWN
Her stern, successful Prussian family had provided Frederica with a strict upbringing. Contrasting sharply with their rigidity was the influence of her sympathetic, nonconformist grandfather Max. He inspired in Frederica a sense of independence that would lead her to leave her family behind and start her own life in pleasure-mad Berlin, to love a man her parents despised, and to stand up against Nazi tyranny.
