January 10, 2009
Mt. Pleasant resident Leni Grehl, at the age of 84, has published a historical memoir of her childhood, her parents’ lives, and growing up in Nazi Germany during World War II.
In her book, Love, War & Curling Irons, Leni relates the uncertainty, panic, and destruction of the war. The story deepens as she ventures to find her grandparents in Bremen, Germany, and discovers an American sergeant has befriended them. Spellbound by their first encounter, the story portrays the two lives changed by the circumstances of war that brought them together.
Leni Grehl was born in Duisburg, Germany, in 1924, and at the age of 13 became an apprentice hairdresser. She emigrated from Bremen in 1947 to marry Fred Grehl, an American soldier.
The couple, who have eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, retired to Carlsbad, NM. After Fred’s passing in 2006, Leni moved to Mt. Pleasant, SC, to live with a daughter.
Leni Grehl’s book is presently available through Trafford Publishing for $16.95, and can be ordered through the company’s Web site, traffordpublishing.com/08-1152 or by phone at 1-888-232-4444. It is also available through amazon.com.
