Elfi Lee is born in 1940 and lives a picture-perfect life on a quiet acreage in eastern Germany. She delights in heading to the forest with her mother, Mutti, who sings hymns as the two gather boysenberries in a basket. Free to roam on the farm, four-year-old Elfi is adventurous and dreams only of exploring more each day.

As 1944 draws to a close, shadows of war creep onto the acreage. Mutti and Elfi encounter a Russian soldier on their property, her father is drafted into the Germany army, and rumors rage of an approaching enemy. On a snowy day in January 1945, as artillery fires in the distance, Elfi flees with her family to escape the advancing Red Army. They board a train headed west, destination unknown.

Now Elfi's dreams of exploring are dashed, and she longs only to hide in Mutti's arms when the journey is interrupted by air raids. After a treacherous trip west, during which Mutti assures Elfi the angels are with them, the family arrives in a suburb of Hamburg. When Elfi's father returns unexpectedly after the war, the family is thrilled. Soon, however, the daily grind of post-war Germany sets in. Food is short, and so is spiritual nourishment, as it is hard for the family to worship freely. When an offer to come to America and live near a Lutheran church arises, the family accepts. But after a journey across the sea, Elfi will need to find out if a better life and true adventure can indeed be found.

great dress shoes
Size: 10, Color: Black
I needed to rent a tux for a wedding but did not like the dress shoes available from the tux rental store. The shoes they offered looked really nice but were not very comfortable. These shoes look just as nice and are much more comfortable. Of course I wanted to look good but I also wanted to be comfortable; these shoes checked all the boxes.

Style and Comfort in Every Step - A Five-Star Men's Casual Dress Shoe!
Size: 8.5, Color: 8/Brown
I recently purchased these men's casual dress shoes from Amazon, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality, style, and overall performance. Here's why these shoes deserve a five-star review: Firstly, the design is on point. These shoes strike the perfect balance between casual and dressy, making them versatile enough for various occasions. Whether it's a day at the office, a weekend event, or a night out, these shoes seamlessly transition from one setting to another. The attention to detail, from the stitching to the subtle accents, adds a touch of sophistication. Comfort is a top priority for me, and these shoes deliver. The insoles provide excellent cushioning, ensuring that my feet stay comfortable throughout the day. I've worn them for long hours without any discomfort or fatigue, a testament to the thoughtful design and quality construction. The fit is true to size, which is always a relief when ordering online. The shoes hug my feet comfortably without being too tight or too loose. The lace-up design allows for easy adjustments, ensuring a snug fit that adds to the overall comfort. Durability is another standout feature. The materials used are of high quality, and the construction seems robust. After weeks of regular wear, there's minimal wear and tear, and the shoes still look as good as new. It's clear that these are built to last. The price point is reasonable, especially considering the quality and style these shoes offer. They look and feel much more expensive than they are, making them a fantastic value for the investment. These dress shoes exceeded my expectations. Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or adding a touch of sophistication to your everyday style, these shoes are a reliable and stylish choice. I highly recommend them and confidently give them a five-star rating!

Amazing shoes
Size: 10.5, Color: 9/Black
Great shoes! I bought these for my son and my husband and chose different styles so we could tell them apart. They have tons of cushion in the sole, and the design looks very modern. The black color is classic and sharp, and the brown ombré effect is pretty cool and really stands out. They look so handsome on my husband! The fit is true to size, which made ordering easy. Overall, we love these shoes and are very happy with our purchase.

Great shoe - funky sizing!
Size: 9.5, Color: 8/Brown
I was looking for a dress shoe for my fiance for our wedding. The day will be primarily outside, so we loved this style because its much more comfortable and supportive than a traditional dress shoe. The look of these is great, they are beautifully made and have a great color. My only complaint is that the sizing is a little off. They run pretty large. My fiance wears between a 9-9.5, but usually buys a 9.5 We had to buy 4 different pairs before setting on the size 8. He reports they are so comfortable and a great shoe, just know if you are buying for an occasion you might need to exchange for sizing. I would buy at least a full size smaller.
