Five-year-old Sousanna is often cold and always hungry, but she’s happy living in post-WWII Greece with her kind and loving family. Then one day a stranger approaches Sousanna’s father with a startling proposition, made bearable only by the assurance that the situation is temporary. But all is not as it seems, and Sousanna is taken from her home to a foreign place where she’s adopted by an American couple. Everything is different and no one understands her. How will Sousanna endure alone in this foreign place, where her culture, her language, and even her name are taken from her? Will her parents ever be able to find her?
Sousanna Stratmann shares her story in the new novel Sousanna: The Lost Daughter. Heart-wrenching and heart- warming by turns, this timely novel inspired by true events explores the bonds between parents and child, the lasting effect of words spoken to young children, and what “for the good of the child” means.

What a wonderful book. The story was very poignant. This should be required reading for all students of history, so this doesn’t happen again.

Brave little Sousanna is determined and feisty as she tries to understand her new life after being taken from her home in Greece. Her thoughts of her loving family never cease. She exemplifies faith, hope, and love in search for answers.

This is a wonderful book fully exploring each family member’s story of a sad period in history. It’s hard to imagine how anyone could take advantage of a family’s difficult times. This is an important story that’s sadly being repeated in poor countrys even in today’s world. Sousanna will win everyone’s heart!

An amazing and important story shared…of love, family, empathy, understanding, healing and most of all, forgiveness. Each chapter reveals a new perspective, gently leading the reader to understand that sometimes good or well-meaning individuals can make flawed and far-reaching decisions. In the end, it’s our reaction to life’s circumstances, our understanding of others, that helps us survive and forgive. Historical, educational and an important lesson to all generations!

I read the book in two days! Didn’t want to put it down! I went from angry to reading sentences of love that touch the heart. Learned a part of history that as children we don’t understand. What a brave little girl to a wonderful women you have become!

This story had me from the beginning. It is so sad and yet so uplifting, the story of strength and hope. I would love to see it made into a movie.

Loved reading this book! I was fortunate to meet Sousanna through mutual friends. I live in Corpus Christi and she came and did a reading for us. Even if I hadn’t met her I would feel like I had after reading her book. Sousanna, Thank you so much for sharing your story. I wish you much success with your book and continued happiness !!!

Great book. Well-written.

This a very touching story about the journey of a very courageous child and now woman who always remembers her biological family. It is a beautiful portrayal of Sousanna’s journey that shows how strength and perseverance bring her back to her family of origin. I highly recommend her book.
Betty Hudson –
The Greek experiences are so revealing you feel like you are there and you know the characters and feel their emotions. The American experience though is sketchier and leaves you wondering.

Love reading something that makes you consider the difficult lives of people. When something softens your heart, it’s always a good thing. The Spirit can do something in your life when you have compassion for others. This book softened my heart. And I think Jesus appreciates a soft heart when he is in yours.
