My Escape to Freedom - Paperback

by Irene Kucholick (Author)

In this final chapter of Irene's real-life adventures, Irene discards her identity as a boy and becomes a nurse in post war East Germany. She must answer questions about politics from the Examining Board but is able to enter nursing school where she is taught propaganda such as which diseases are capitalistic. Soon she walks the fine line between comrades at work eager to inform on her and planning a freedomless-future with her beau. Irene's own convictions and courageous missteps run her afoul of the Communist party, and she is forced into her last harrowing flight for the border and the freedom which lay in the west beyond the Iron Curtain.
