Blessed by Adoption

This true story is about a German girl who was born a baroness and later became a "princess." She was adopted into a loving American family, lived in Germany half of her childhood and later became a naturalized American citizen. As she began reflecting upon her life and searching for her biological roots, surprises unfolded, miracles happened and patterns developed that revealed a common thread weaving the tapestry of her life. Ann Kief and her husband live in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Her professional life was mainly focused on education, leadership and college administration. She taught at the university, college and grade school levels as well as in numerous parks and recreation settings. She has written professionally, as well as dabbled in writing children's literature. Her greatest joy and fulfillment, however, has been as a wife, mother and grandmother.
