BIO:
Tammy Borden is sought-after speaker and author of Waltraud: A True Story of Growing Up in Nazi Germany, a World War II novel based on her mother’s first-hand accounts as a German girl during one of the darkest chapters in history. As a professional copywriter turned novelist, she also worked in nonprofits for more than 20 years where she helped others tell their stories before pursuing her own creative endeavors. She and her husband live in Wisconsin where they enjoy nature, gardening, and Sunday afternoon naps.
SYNOPSIS:
Waltraud: A True Story of Growing Up in Nazi Germany is a gripping tale of survival and quiet resistance. Inspired by true accounts of the real Waltraud, the author’s mother, the novel shines a rare light on World War II from a German citizen perspective inside Hitler’s Germany, and introduces an unsung heroine who refuses to give in to an ideology of hate. Waltraud is more than a story of war. It is a testament to resilience, unbreakable love, and the strength of the human spirit.
