The chaotic Horn of Africa

By James N. M. B Rugiireheh-Runaku and Gertrude Mueller Von Deham

This second book in the Mixed Relations trilogy is the account of Gertrude M ller von Deham's journey into married life with a difficult, objectionable husband. Having been raised by a cruel, demanding mother she finds herself oddly well prepared to navigate these stormy waters.

Finally able to really live her life instead of watching others from the shadows, she thrives on her love of the excitement of financial journalism and the associated intrigue; journeying across Europe as her husband's messenger and feeling truly an essential part of a world greater than she ever dared imagine.

Raising 3 children through the first world war in starving Vienna, she proves herself resourceful and brave in her exploits as a more than competent partner to her husband as well as a fiercely devoted mother.

Her courage, quick thinking and tenacity are tested repeatedly as she skillfully learns to stretch the truth in order to cross borders, put food on a wartime table and help her family and friends during uncertain times.

As her husband gets closer to the position he desires at the newspaper, she finds that he is willing to make some sacrifices to get there that just won't do.
