About the Author

When Ellynore Seybold was just a kid, she knew she wanted to be a writer. Her first book, The Wooden Mistress, was published in 1994. Then in 2012, Smith was diagnosed with cancer. She thought, if it was time to die, okay. After all, her husband was waiting on the other side. Then a miracle happened, and the tumor turned benign. Smith saw this as a message from God that she had better do something creative with the rest of her life. And she began to write in earnest.

Editorial Reviews

Sigrit by Ellynore Seybold is a touching story about a seven-year-old girl who lives in Germany in 1944. Her parents are spies for the Allies, but they know the Germans are closing in on them. And they commit suicide rather than face capture by the Nazis. Poor little Sigrit finds their bodies and her life is forever haunted. Seybold-Smith takes us on a journey as we follow Sigrit's life from the discovery of her parents to her graduation from high school.

Sigrit by Ellynore Seybold is an interesting look at life in Germany during World War II. It is certainly not a place where I would want to be. If you were a woman, even an ugly one, you stood a good chance of getting raped by Russian soldiers when they came through after Germany's defeat, pillaging and looting, bent on revenge. If you were a man or teenage boy, you were either drafted by the Germans or sent to prison camps by the Russians, whether you had been a combatant or not.
