Description: "Beautiful, smart, talented. Impatient, dissatisfied, critical. Ursula was many things to many people. In a life filled with love and drama, hope and disappointment, she had to reinvent herself again and again. Her pampered childhood in Germany ended abruptly in flight from the coming Nazi terror. Suddenly she and her mother were living hand-to-mouth in Palestine where her dreams seemed to be blowing away in the dust. Then came the suitors, drawn by her movie-star looks and surprised by her gifted mind. ... She had her choice, but her choice would lead to pain and scandal and see [her] risking everything to follow love - first to England then to Australia. ..."--Back cover.
