Hi Renate,
I'd like to give the book a rating of 4 and a half stars. I thought it was a fabulous book and deserves to do brilliantly.

Hi Renate,
I just thought that I would write and tell you how much I enjoyed reading your fascinating book. It held me captive over a period of two days solid reading and I can say you led me along with such interest that I was reluctant to leave the book down.
It was great to see that because of circumstances you had to move from what could have been a very comfortable home to a life full of challenges. You met these head on and overcame many obstacles, which would have left others in a heap…
Thank you Renate for sharing your life experiences with me your reader…

Hi Renate,
Just to let you know, I finished reading your book, and thought it was excellent, further more the patience to write it, and time taken, I respect.
For me it was getting exciting ... your boat... building it ,an experience that must have been!
I arrived in Australia when I was 14 in 1956 so do know, and do remember that time, especially red-back spiders under toilet seats in outside toilets...

Hi Renate,
This is Anita. We met at the German club where you showed us your wonderful paintings and of course I got your book.
I started to read it, then every time Walter visited me, he grabbed it and started reading, it... so much so that he got AHEAD of me!! So in the end I said,
"here you take it home and read it, and when you are finished I will read it..."!
I think it was such a parallel experience for him, in reading your book.
My life was less dramatic... but now I look forward to reading your life story.!!
Walter keeps commenting about parts and pieces out of the stories... the chiropractor, the rip-offs... and so on. Kept me smiling…

Renate,
Congratulation on the publication of your first book –
'From the Promised land to the Lucky Country'
I enjoyed your book so much finding it almost impossible to put down until I had read it from cover to cover. Even the second time around it is still fascinating.
A truly breathtaking story of unfailing courage, strength, love and commitment to family and many needy causes...
