Review
By Ellen Tanner Marsh, a New York Times best selling author
-In Renate’s spellbinding story, we are taken along on an incredible journey of survival-that spans three countries and one remarkable life.
Born in Germany in 1931 Renate and her parents escaped the Nazis by fleeing to Israel; an ancient world of open- air markets and hot sun..
In sun-soaked pages, Renate shows us life on the kibbutz and how a young country experiences the miracle of statehood.
As a young nurse, she meets and marries Moshiko and they set off to live in Australia.

------This is a world where laundry is done in tubs, televisions are all black and white, and wives are supposed to be dependent
------on theirhusbands. It’s also a world that becomes a springboard for a new career in chiropractic.
------Part of Renate's gift is to give us vibrantly real and intimate glimpses of what it’s like to be a young mother, nurse and doting
------wife during-turbulent times and in a strange land.
------Fearlessly honest in her writing, Renate - spares no detail. She doesn’t sugarcoat, but instead shows us both the pleasures and the
------perils of her life, including the terrifying time when she and her husband, back in Israel, are separated from their children during the
-- ---Yom Kippur War. Fearlessly honest in her writing, Renate - spares no detail…
------Filled with poems, this outstanding book occasionally breaks the fourth wall, allowing the author to talk with readers and reveal…
------to them how freeing it has been for her to write about the traumas in her life.
------This boldness and strength of spirit give 'From the Promised Land to the Lucky Country' its shining truth and intimacy.
------We are meant to enjoy the earth.” Renate says, and-in this moving memoir, we experience a woman who has, despite all the
------odds,-found purpose and peace in a lucky place.
