Sue was born in 1944 in Bauxite, Arkansas, a small mining town still reeling from the Great Depression. An ocean away from Horst's upbringing, her life followed a different path-one filled with her own struggles, joys, and hardships as a young single mother.

When Horst and Sue met in 1973 at UCLA during a time of political upheaval and societal change, they found in each other a shared resilience and a quiet defiance of the hands they'd been dealt.

Against the Wind is the powerful autobiography of two determined people whose struggles span the globe from post-WWII Europe and small-town America to the tumult of Vietnam-era protests in California, to years of living in Mexico, marriage in Arkansas, and, eventually, finding a place for their family to grow and thrive in New England. This is a story of survival, ambition, change, and the enduring strength of love.
