Two Worlds In My Heart

ByLeah Chapman

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
What was it like for a new immigrant to Canada in 1936? Was it loneliness that made my mother return to her native Germany on the eve of World War II, taking me, her two-year-old daughter with her? Separated from my father and my native Canada we spent the entire war, eleven years in all, in Germany. Our life and struggles in a world at war and my own subjection to an abusive mother. Read about the last days of the war, American liberation and when 15-million refugees flooded into the west, a west that was 50-70% in rubble. Returning to Canada proved no better, as my father too abandoned me. Part One covers the first twenty-eight years of my life, including a teen marriage and subsequent service in the Catholic Church. Part Two relates my deepening commitment to the church and to God as I understood him. An amazingly candid portrayal of a life lived on two continents and in two worlds, the secular and the religious, and how abuse and betrayal sometimes happen to good people.
