Corinna Montgomery announces the release of her powerful memoir, The Wings of Freedom: A True Story of Survival, Faith and Freedom, a deeply personal and inspiring account of life under Communist rule in East Germany, the painful cost of seeking liberty, and the strength it took to rebuild a life through faith and perseverance.

In The Wings of Freedom, Montgomery opens a window to a world many learned about only in history books. Born in East Germany in 1962, she grew up under fear, silence, government control, and surveillance. As a young woman, she experienced life in a country where freedom of speech, travel, and belief were severely limited. Her memoir details these hardships, including her family's escape attempt, her arrest, imprisonment, and subsequent struggles.

The Wings of Freedom tells a story of resilience, capturing a young woman's courage against oppression. After surviving imprisonment and escaping as a refugee to West Germany with only her clothes, Montgomery started anew. Her journey brought her to the US, where she built a life on gratitude, faith, and purpose. The memoir explores liberty, family separation, spiritual endurance, and the meaning of freedom, reminding readers, "We have to learn from history, or history will repeat itself." Honest storytelling offers a testimony of survival and hope.

As a mother of two sons-one in Germany and one in the US-she shares her story to preserve her history and inspire others to value truth, stay strong in adversity, and appreciate freedom. Her voice is heartfelt and courageous. "The Wings of Freedom" is a compelling read for those interested in endurance stories, Cold War and East German history, spiritual journeys, and triumph over impossible odds.
