In her memoir, From Rubble to Champagne, Vivianne Knebel tells a story that started in war-ravaged Berlin in 1943 and crosses the Atlantic to Canada and finally to the United States. It is a tale that starts with a young girl begging for scraps to eat and ends with a woman living her best life. Her feistiness kept her going and now she is living fabulously. It’s tenacity, perseverance and gratitude in action.
