Sonja Herbert, Writer and Novelist
|
| Sonja's unusual life began in post World War II Germany, in a traveling circus. As a child, Sonja developed a strong faith in Christ, which eventually brought her away from the carnival circuit and into a church.
Also, when Sonja was young, she decided to one day write her mother's story, the story of a half-Jewish young woman who survived the Nazis.
It took her many years, until after she immigrated to the United States, got married, divorced and re-married and raised most of her six children, before she made that promise come true.
After many years as a language teacher, Sonja now works as a freelance writer and as a novelist and memoirist.
