From Victim to Victory by Margarete Ledwez
"From Victim to Victory" offers a captivating snapshot of what it was like to grow up in the 1950s as part of a German immigrant family in a small Canadian community. Margarete Ledwez' story, however, is laced with a dark undercurrent. As a child, Dyslexia complicated her school days, while her nights were filled with stomach-churning fear of a father who sexually abused her. Without consciously realizing it, she banished these nighttime episodes from her memory. As an adult, while raising her own three children, she was beset by frightening "triggers" and haunted by nightmares without understanding why. Only through the strength of her two most important relationships-her marriage to Harry, and her faith in God-was she able to unlock past memories and discover that the only way through the fear and pain depended on her willingness to forgive.This book was written in part as a commitment to seeking closure and healing, but also to give hope to others who are, or have been, sexually abused-and to encourage them to begin their own healing journey.Margarete Ledwez is a successful author whose work includes a trilogy of young adult mystery/adventure books set in her hometown of Niagara Falls.
Ledwez, Margarete: - Margarete Ledwez was born in Germany, emigrating to Canada with her parents and brother when she was just a year old. She quickly developed a longing to create which has eventually manifested itself in her writing. Growing up in St. Catharines, Ontario, she became fascinated by the tunnels that had been used to hide slaves as part of the Underground Railroad and later by bootleggers during Prohibition. While she and her husband were raising their own children they lived in Niagara Falls, just 5 kilometers from the celebrated Screaming Tunnel . Her curiosity was once again piqued when she discovered the myths and legends surrounding the many tunnels under the famous falls. When writing this series of stories, she drew from her knowledge as well as her unending intrigue about the idea that there could be many more tunnels yet to be discovered. Death and Redemption is Margarete Ledwez's third novel, and is the final book in this series about the mysteries of the tunnels under Niagara Falls. The story has been evolving in the author's imagination for many years. Margarete Ledwez lives in St. Catharines, Ontario with her husband Harry.
