Ursula (Winter) Turner had the misfortune of having been born during the dark hours of war-torn Germany. With her father gone off to war, her mother struggled to keep their two daughters and herself fed, clothed and, most importantly, alive, from the bombs that were a constant threat, particularly toward the end of the war. "Sirens," tells this compelling story from the point of view of someone who, as a child, lived through the horrors of a world war. Ursula came to live in America at age 19, and along with her American husband, calls Southeastern Kansas home.
