Little Lucky Girl Cathy Reinking

My name is Cathy Reinking, born Cathy Fischer. My dad was Superman. He faced the vilest villain that ever lived. He traversed the globe watching it's destruction. He was a mild mannered nerdy man but had the strength of ten men. Although I'm the daughter of Superman, I'm an ordinary woman, and this is my story because my daddy didn't live long enough to tell his. This book is a tapestry of stories, historical facts, journal entries, blogs, fever dreams - all aiming for a deeper understanding and emotional connection to a horrible legacy, with the intent of highlighting the urgent relevance of these stories to the world we all live in today. This book is many things. A Journal about the WWII and it's aftermath, told solely from the perspective of a 2G (Second Generation Survivor). A Journey to Self-Discovery and Acceptance. A Wake Up Call that this could happen again, especially in our current global climate. A story with as many twists, turns, and action as a blockbuster Hollywood film. A reminder that faith, resilience, and community (especially those we self-create) are essential to all of our lives. A lesson on how to stay enthusiastic, optimistic, and hopeful when all signs around us provide us with examples why we shouldn't be."Little Lucky Girl is compelling and moving, with elements of survival and discovery interwoven. Honest, brutal, horrible and uplifting, this personal story helped me to see all we are able to celebrate in our lives, gratitude unspoken, wounds to put aside and grow beyond. Its narrative of generational and private trauma, overcome by determination, vulnerability and, well, heroism - a recipe for appreciation of life. It left us changed, and better."
