Attempting to help relatives escape from East Germany in the mid-1960s, an American woman and her husband were arrested in communist Hungary. This graphic personal account highlights the shock of unexpected incarceration, life with thieves, prostitutes, and murderers, and black market survival methods. The dreadful experience of a police state system is in sharp contrast to the freedoms she has always known.

Amazing story of courage. I was on the edge of my seat the entire story. Very easy to put myself in the writer’s shoes as the story unfolds. A good reminder on what communism does. Excellent story!

Well written personal account of a true story, one that chilled me when I read it. I wondered if I would have been that courageous and willing to risk prison to help a desperate family member. The thirst for freedom for a loved one took them to risk all. You will be changed reading this book.

What an remarkable story! The author writes with intelligent and impassioned descriptions of her experiences inside a Hungarian prison, after a very scary and suspenseful attempt to free family from East Germany. I could not put the book down!

A true and suspenseful story. How quickly we forget the horrors of communism and the experience of this family is a good education for our younger generation to give thought to. It is a story of love of family that risks their own lives to free family left behind; a story of of great courage in the face of much ugliness in prison. I have become friends with this loving, caring, compassionate, strong woman and her husband. They put their beliefs into action in this true account and their lives today. Must read!
I've been around Christian publishing since 1987 when I helped our ministry self-publish an important resource for Vietnam veterans and their families. That book went on to be picked up by a royalty publisher and has since sold over 250,000 copies with a million in print.
I'm glad you're here…stop by often and take advantage of all the information we make available.

Are you eager to write your first book? Perhaps you’ve launched one book but have an idea for a second or a third. If you’re uncertain what the next step looks like on the path from concept to completed manuscript, we can help.
Our Jumpstart! class explores subjects such as finding inspiration, sorting through ideas, how to begin, using personal examples, writing a powerful opening, avoiding writer’s block, and other useful topics. It will orient you toward publishing success.
Please join us for this friendly, informative four-week clinic, where aspiring and established writers receive warm, online professional group coaching to help them get started.
Okay, you’ve got a book underway, or your idea is at the ready. Excellent! But sometimes, as you write, you wonder, is this going any place? Am I doing this right? Maybe you have writer’s block or would like professional guidance and encouragement to help you progress through your manuscript.
We can do that!
Our six-week program consists of the coach and the author putting their heads together and taking the book from the idea, or beginning, stages, through a completed framework for the book. The coach guides the author through each week’s writing and preparation and returns the author’s submission with thorough, encouraging, and detailed notes. The following day, the coach and author meet online or by phone to discuss the week’s work, clarify anything that needs explanation, brainstorm solutions, and build the author’s confidence.
We like to make custom recommendations based on your manuscript and message, so it helps us to learn more about you and actually review the manuscript in order to come up with a publishing strategy.
