ABOUT KAROLA M. SCHUETTE
Karola M. Schuette, from Offenbach, Germany, brought her early skills as a legal secretary and interpreter to her venture as an author, but it was her life experience during the Depression and Hitler years of World War II that informed her distinctive, insightful voice. Crossing to this country as a war bride in 1947 and becoming an American citizen expanded her horizons and intensified her perceptions of both the new world she entered and the old one she left behind.

Also marmalade.
ABOUT KARLA M. JAY
Karla M. Jay is the award-winning author of When We Were Brave and It Happened In Silence.
When she’s not writing, she’s reading, gardening, playing with her dog, or traveling with her husband to new places to try to find a story that has never been told.
Reader Reviews
The Widows of Champagne, by Renee Ryan
“A beautifully written novel by Renee Ryan that kept me enthralled throughout the whole book! I couldn’t get enough of Gabrielle, Helene and Josephine. These 3 women couldn’t be more different but together, they are widows who will hold on to the family vineyards with everything that is in them, even under Nazi rule.”
The Chalky Sea, by Clare Flynn
England 1940. Gwen’s husband leaves for war. Two days later, her sleepy seaside town is subjected to the first of many bomb attacks. Canada.Jim Armstrong, betrayed by his fiancée, joins the army and heads for England. War brings horror and loss to both – can it also bring change and salvation?
The Abolitionist's Daughter, by Diane C. McPhail
“The Abolitionist’s Daughter is an intricate, involved story of family, of the misunderstandings and divided loyalties that result in unapproachable rifts, and of the cost of freedom. Freedom from doubt, freedom of choice, freedom to love. The backstory of a country at war with itself and the verdant glory that is the lower Mississippi delta make this a book to savor.”
A Girl Like You, by Michelle Cox
“Flavored with 1930s slang and fashion, this first volume in what one hopes will be a long series is absorbing. Henrietta and Clive are a sexy, endearing, and downright fun pair of sleuths. Readers will not see the final twist coming.”
Library Journal, Starred Review
When We Were Brave, by Karla M. Jay
“Wonderful Story – Wonderful Author. When We Were Brave, by Karla M. Jay is a novel that portrays all the horror, grief, inhumanity, and bravery found in a young Jewish boy, a disenchanted SS officer, and a German-American family.”
Journey Between Two Worlds, by Karola M. Schuette
“Gorgeously written true story. I enjoyed reading this book. It feels very historic yet intimate, making me feel almost part of the Schuette family as I read Karola’s words about coming to America after WWII. Wonderful!”
