New Book Presents Lessons in Living Life to the Fullest

The Badenweiler Waltz by G.W. Kroeker is a moving story about a woman diagnosed with a terminal illness who learns to embrace life.

Aachen, Germany (PRWEB) February 13, 2008 -- The Badenweiler Waltz, a new novel by acclaimed writer G.W. Kroeker, is a look into the nature of awakening to the inner self and letting go of fear of the unknown.

In The Badenweiler Waltz, Kroeker tells the story of a dying woman who travels to Germany and encounters a series of characters that open her mind to seeing new ways to live despite her illness. Although fiction, The Badenweiler Waltz parallels the author's own emotional and painful struggle with his wife's disease and tragic death. The novel was a collaboration with the author's late wife who encouraged him to expand the short story he had written about a seemingly out-of-place woman he had seen in the Black Forest town where the novel takes place.

Author Kroeker knows first-hand the pain of grief but also the healing powers of love. More than an entertaining and introspective narrative, the novel is also about a woman coming into her own and finally learning to trust her own strength and instincts.

Sure to pull the heartstrings, Kroeker delivers a beautifully written story with believable characters. The Badenweiler Waltz will speak to anyone who has ever truly loved another.
