The story starts in Turkey in 1915 during the First World War at Kouvouklie, a village near Bursa in Asia Minor. My father was only a little boy when he saw his father momentarily before he escaped from the Ottoman Turkey prison in Bursa. His only crime was his Christian faith. He disappeared into the night leaving the family to survive. The Greek and Turkey governments had agreed to exchange their populations in 1922, uprooting over 1,500,000 Asian Minor Greeks while 500,000 Turkish people were evicted from Greece. The Asian Minor Greeks were told that they were going to their promised land. However, they ended up in refugee camps in Thessaloniki Greece. These were turbulent and horrendous times. My family were eventually allocated homes and settled in northern Greece. When the World War II broke my father was conscripted leaving the family to survive. The Italians attacked Greece and they were followed by the Germans, the family suffered many hardships. This story is my family’s battle for survival. My brother migrated to Australia in 1954 and then sponsored the whole family in 1955. My family found at last a home where they could live in peace. This is our Promised Land.
Olga Fortuna loves pretty clothes, sewing, and anything to do with fashion. When her father brings her and her sisters to Needful, Texas to find husbands, she soon discovers that she enjoys making clothing for others more than the idea of wedded bliss.
Set in Bavaria, An Old Shrew, a Tortured Soul, and Everyday Angels is the story of a bitter feud between Olga, a tough and nasty octogenarian, and Agnes, the antiauthoritarian mother of three teen-age delinquents. Olga has perfected the art of manipulating and using people. A thorn in the side to many, she gets flak only from Agnes who has nothing to lose. While Olga practices being a flower thief, Agnes slides into alcoholism. The big clash comes when Olga puts a stop to Agnes's newly found calling, and Agnes counters with a spectacular fire. Out of the blue, three murders are committed. Who could be responsible? Olga, Agnes, or someone else altogether? Both Olga and Agnes prematurely lose their lives, largely due to their errant ways. They might have lived longer, had they accepted the support so freely and readily given by Olga's four wonderful neighbors; Sister Maria, a Catholic lay sister born in Turkey; Zora, a lovable Gypsy; her friend Adi; and others in their close-knit community. While An Old Shrew, a Tortured Soul, and Everyday Angels is first and foremost a work of fiction, it touches upon the fate of the countless displaced persons and foreign worker families who found a new life in Germany after World War II.
