FIVE STARS “A captivated full-house audience went from tears to breath held in suspense to roaring laughter.” – Edmonton Journal
Ingrid Garner, 18X award-winning creator of “Eleanor’s Story: An American Girl In Hitler’s Germany”, delivers a stand-alone sequel to her grandmother’s acclaimed memoir.
In this sequel, 16-year-old Eleanor has managed to survive the war an enemy alien caught in Berlin. Now upon her long-awaited return home to America, she discovers that her beloved country is now foreign to her. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is used as a theatrical device to contrast a plentiful America with Eleanor’s flashbacks of a ravaged Berlin.
This sequel offers a fascinating look at the intricacies of coping with trauma, family separation, survivor’s guilt and culture shock.
Brilliant acting and compelling story. Definitely stands alone, but it’s even more compelling if you saw the first part of the memoir. Excellent!
