Andrea Ritter was born in Germany when the Nazis entered into Poland and WWII began in Europe.
She is telling, in novel form, the story of her family's experiences during the last couple of years of the Nazi era; the bombings and survival at the homefront, and the combat battles at the Russian front until the Americans came to liberate the German people. She knows firsthand the ravages of war as a small child, which would influence her future life.
Ms. Ritter lives on the north shore of New Orleans, Louisiana. Sunflower of the First Reich is her first novel, available in print since 2001.
This work was published as an e-book in several formats by www.smashwords.com in October 2010.
