Im Herzen barfuss

Dana Schweiger is 51 and a single mother of four children. For years, she supported her ex-husband Til Schweiger and, like so many other women, managed the family on her own. Now that her youngest daughter Emma is almost out of the house, she wonders: "Who am I really – besides being a mother?" In her book, she shares what it meant for her to come to Germany as a young American and suddenly find herself in the spotlight. Refreshingly candid and humorous, she recounts the ups and downs of her marriage, the experience of motherhood, and the challenges of blended family life. Today, at over 50, Dana knows herself better than ever and is also more content than ever before. Unwanted pounds no longer throw her off balance, nor do new girlfriends of her ex-husband – or the realization that, even though she is a true family person, she will never be the perfect super-mom. A calmness she had to learn, but one she would recommend to every woman.
