Erika Madden
Biography
Erika Madden's childhood in World War II Germany was one of deprivation and challenge. With the war effort of the mid-1940s, food, heating fuel, and clothing were becoming increasingly scarce, and the German citizens increasingly desperate. The Allied Forces were advancing on the small Franconian farming community where Madden's family lived. Her father was away at war, and the future of her family uncertain. Madden called upon these childhood experiences as inspiration for her historical fiction novel,"Year of the Angels."

The author, guided by her personal experience as a child growing up in Germany during World War II, shows that in the world of children, war or no war, there are no boundaries and there is no hate.
