A Whole New Life
The unlikely hero in the story, Kerstin, was reunited with her mother and the rest of their family on June 8, 2008. She was roused from the artificially induced coma that the doctors had put her in while saving her life. Elisabeth and all 6 of her children have been moved to an undisclosed village in Northern Austria, still somewhat hidden from the world. When Elisabeth found out about her father’s past rape conviction, she was angered that her mom knew about it, yet she claimed that she didn’t know anything about what Josef was doing to her. Even her other children who had grown up with Rosemarie are now with Elisabeth, undergoing treatment for anger about the truth, and abandonment issues at believing their mom had left them when they were younger.
