War memories do not have an age requirement. They force you to mature and give you no choice but to cope with the realities of the world. In this memoir, author Sigrid Jackson tells what it was like being a child of war in East Germany before and after World War II. In East German Girl, Jackson describes what it was like to live through the bombing raids, food shortages, diphtheria, communism, and being forced to leave her home with her mother and brother to be relocated to a rural farm. Using personal anecdotes to illustrate how God has worked in her life, Jackson demonstrates the courage that was necessary to escape East Germany to freedom in the west when she was just twelve years old. From an alcoholic, absentee father to an unsuspecting future husband, life continuously threw her curveballs, but East German Girl narrates an inspirational story of war, communism, family betrayal, and finally resilience.

In these new domestic reminiscences, Shirley Jackson carries on her tale of dubious parental equilibrium in the face of four children, assorted dogs and cats, and the uncounted heaps of small intrusive possessions which pile up in corners everywhere.Because of the increasing pressure of possessions, animals, and children, a bigger house is necessary to hold everything. The unending bewilderment of moving gives way to the healthy challenges of small repairs, new roofs, and bookcases, and the heady enthusiasms for horses, Little League, trumpet playing and magic.Shirley Jackson uses her great talent to picture the rich and varied day-to-day living of an unusual but not really so different American family.

I graduated from Anacostia Senior High School in 1985 and went in the US Army. I wanted to tell a sad story and maybe convince one person to help me. Lawrence, Lester and Morris Jackson of the 1969 DC Blacks Mafia conspiricy trials all paid a high price for their crimes. Let's stop the next generation of fatherless children in our communities from giving in to a fad of crime and due to prison experiences that cuase black males to suffer emotional ignorance. The U.S. drug war and black on black youth violence must stop. These things are hurting our young and I wish that the story of my amazing family could make someone with real power look at the drug issue from another angle. Anyone can become a drug dealer. We need more Teachers, Doctors, Scientist, Mathematicians, and Lawyers not drug dealers.My Mother, brothers and sisters had to live with shame, the fact that our Father could be in prison for life with eight mouths to feed.
