BORN AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II IN A SMALL, SLEEPY VILLAGE NOT FAR FROM MUNICH, MARIA DOESN'T FIT INTO HER TIME AND DOESN'T KNOW  HER PLACE. IN AN ERA WHEN A DAUGHTER HAS NO  RIGHTS BUT THE RIGHT TO BE OBEDIENT, SHE WANTS TO BELONG TO HERSELF, BE FREE, AND
FIND SOMEONE TO LOVE.
IF SHE CAN'T HAVE THESE PRECIOUS THINGS
IN HER WORLD SHE WILL LOOK FOR THEM IN
ANOTHER, AND NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN STOP HER, BECAUSE A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS A FORCE OF NATURE THAT CANNOT BE DENIED.
