Queensland, Australia (PRWEB) July 9, 2006 -- In her spellbinding story, From The Promised Land to the Lucky Country, Renate gives both an important historical record and a heartfelt chronicle of her exciting life.

Renate and her young family take off, once again, this time to Midwest America. But that’s not the end of her travels!

Renate give readers an intimate look into the incredible historical and personal journey of her life. Through her passionate writing, all will experience with her what it’s like to live in a community that aspires to statehood and eventually becomes the new state of Israel, as well as the terror of being separated from her children during Israel’s infamous Yom Kippur War. She also shares accounts of her home and professional life, with her stranger-than-fiction experiences in court, her work in a chiropractic clinic, her adventures building a 64 ft. yacht, as well as of a home filled with 11 Alsatian pups.
