Born into a world of strict expectations, Karin felt trapped by cultural norms and societal pressures, but within her burned a fire for a different life.
This is the inspiring true story of a first-generation Australian woman who dared to rewrite her destiny. Raised by German migrant parents in the 1950s, Karin's childhood was one of hard work and unquestioning obedience.
