The gripping biography of a strong woman from the war generation who overcomes depression and self-rejection, discovers her true worth, and is now a sought-after senior model.

In the icy January of 1945, Friederike Garbe is born in Breslau. Just one day later, her widowed mother must flee with Friederike from the advancing Soviets. After months of odyssey, they arrive in Lübeck, where Friederike experiences a harsh childhood devoid of love and security.

When she meets her husband Günter at the age of eighteen, it seems that everything will finally be alright. However, Friederike struggles with depression, feeling worthless and unloved. She drowns her fears in alcohol. Two suicide attempts fail.

The turning point comes when Friederike encounters the one who offers her unconditional love and an inalienable worth: Jesus Christ. A path of healing begins, on which Friederike is even able to help others. Ultimately, she fulfills a childhood dream and establishes the Agape House in Lübeck, where abandoned children and people in need find a new home.

In 2012, Friederike Garbe gains greater recognition through an appearance on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Since being discovered at sixty, she has worked as a successful senior model.
