“This book touched my soul. The pages flew by far too quickly…”*
How does it feel to grow up as a girl that is wildly different and highly sensitive in a society shaped by patriarchy?
While traveling through Clara’s inner and outer world, you move through decades of time and across the skies between Germany and Canada. In Clara’s childhood, you witness how just a few spectacular soccer goals can open hearts and minds to diversity. The curious intimacies of first love and the tender, yet tense, bond between a mother and daughter may feel familiar in one way or another.
"A novel in which a nostalgia resonates that seems to arise from one's own childhood."
"Karin Eger has a magnificent writing style that captivates me from the very beginning and draws me into the story with incredible ease (…)."* (*Readers on LovelyBooks/Amazon)

Stories of strong women of our time, read from the depths of the experience – that's how my novels can be described. In my books and my blog, I write about what holds us together - in our families, in the world and within ourselves - and what breaks us apart.
