Description: Hardships and Magic: Memories of Growing up in Germany 1939-1955 by Renate Doost-Schneider My dear friend wrote this book. I am helping her sell them because as an Octogenarian she does not use computer technology. This episodic memoir of a girl's life in Germany through WWII and its aftermath offers vivid descriptions of the feelings and experiences of the young child. Brief, intense memories of the young child are here recalled in the vocabulary of the adult. Gradually, they turn into longer narratives as the child grows older. Strung together and interwoven, they become a colorful tapestry depicting one family's evolution through many hardships as well as periods of beauty and enchantment. Born in Berlin, Germany in 1936, Renate Doost-Schneider immigrated to the USA in 1955 with her mother and brother. While working in an office in New York City she also studied theatre arts. Employed as a set designer in summer stock near Albany NY she met her future husband. They married in 1961 and moved to Connecticut. She and her husband started two community theatres while supporting themselves with office work. While raising her daughter Doost-Schneider returned to work and to school, earning her BA in English in 1976 and her MLS in 1979. She was employed at the Groton Public Library for 26 years and pursued a career as a storyteller.
