Ten Thousand Miles of Miracles is an extraordinary account of a remarkable young lady named Paula who survived life during a crucial time in history few first-hand witnesses are still alive to tell about. This book follows her life beginning with her childhood in Zipserland, Slovakia, and her amazing journey of leaving home at 12 years old, traveling by herself to escape the ravages of WWII in Europe, fleeing a refugee camp, surviving air raids and phosphor bombs, narrowly escaping death many times, coming face to face as a young lady with the Nazi soldiers for several hours while her family hid in the attic, and rescuing her war-torn and scattered family from the Russian front in Germany.
