Description: When her new American husband started a teaching job in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Minne Muller-Liebenwald left Germany in 1915 to make a life in America. Lonely but determined, she poured her heart into letters to her dear mother, left behind in a homeland convulsed in a terrible war.

Now, more than 80 years later, you too can read Minne's insightful and impassioned letters. Newly translated and collected for the first time in Tenderness & Turmoil: Letters to a German Mother 1914-1920, these letters, as well as several from her husband Edward, provide a unique and moving look at the American home front in World War I as seen through the keen eyes of a young German bride.
Notes: Letters addressed to Julie Müller-Liebenwalde.
