Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Because You Were There, Mama" is more than a book—it's a poignant journey through a daughter's memories, capturing her mother's life: a quiet heroine who carried her family through war, loss, and hardship. In moving scenes, the author recounts childhood days in Hainfeld, Lower Austria, the simple, often harsh life of the 1930s and 40s—and the unwavering bond of a family in which the mother became the quiet center. Between bombing raids, laundry days, Sunday roasts, and the fear of tomorrow, a loving and authentic portrait of a generation unfolds, a generation that had little but gave so much. The novel intertwines personal memories with historical events, creating a literary monument to humanity in inhumane times. With understated language, striking imagery, and touching honesty, it reveals what often remains hidden: the strength of the women who weren't in the spotlight—but who held everything together. A book full of warmth, sorrow, courage, and gratitude. And a tribute to all mothers who were the light in dark times.
