Under Fate's Wing

by Hillevi Ruumet

Overview

A six-year-old girl is abruptly ejected from her idyllic life in Estonia into the chaos of Hitler’s collapsing Germany, where her heroic mother braves impossible odds to assure their survival. Failing to outrun the advancing Soviet troops on foot would mean a one-way trip to Stalin’s Gulag.

Their desperate survival odyssey, marked by a series of uncanny serendipities, lands them in a postwar displaced persons’ (DP) camp run by Americans. There, stateless and without a future, her family must find a country that will accept them as immigrants. After four years of fruitless search and dead ends, a miraculous turn of fate opens the door to a fresh start in New York, and a complete life transformation beyond anything they could have imagined.

About the Author

By training, Hillevi Ruumet is a psychologist (Ph.D. Columbia University) – by inclination, a “psychonaut.” In addition to providing psychotherapy and teaching, she has studied and practiced Jungian psychology and dream-work, Tibetan Buddhism, mystical Christianity, and cross-cultural spiritual traditions. The seeds of her lifelong exploratory journey were sown during childhood, when she and her family found themselves “collateral damage” of World War II and its aftermath. Under Fate’s Wing tells her extraordinary coming-of-age story.
