Gerti’s War covers the years 1938-47 showing what life was like in Germany during the war and afterwards as taken from Gerti’s journals from the time and the stories she told.Lois lives in California with the best dog in the world who happily sits at her feet while she writes.

Lois has written two other books; and is a screenwriter with several screenplays, teleplays, and shorts. She also works with children teaching classes...view less
