Daniela Meir's life adventures read like an international fairy tale. Beautifully written, it describes a 20-year-old's dreams of taking a cargo ship to anywhere it takes her--from tiny Palestine to discover the world. And the ships take her on a journey that shapes her lifelong destiny. She meets and marries a handsome Czech bachelor and he takes her home to 1930's Czechoslovakia, just as Hitler invades the country and annexes it as the first move in Nazi Germany's rapid expansion. They flee by cargo ship to Kenya, then travel to Persia. When the Soviet Union engineers a coup d'etat in Czechoslovakia, she and their young family are stranded in Persia as stateless refugees.
And her destiny has barely begun!
