Bowker Biography:
Beverly Sahin

Ms. Sahin was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. Graduating first from Grand View (then Junior) College and subsequently earning her BA from the University of Northern Iowa with a mathematics major and German minor, she taught four levels of high school German in Postville, Iowa. During her teaching career she did some summer graduate work in German at Middlebury College in Vermont. She then gave up her teaching position to enroll in a one-year study program in Germany for the purpose of honing her German language skills further. Her life took a new direction there as she married in Germany and moved with her husband to Turkey, where their two sons were born. The family moved to the United States, the marriage dissolved, and Ms. Sahin supported her two sons alone in Minneapolis.

A single mother with responsibilities, she never returned to her demanding teaching career. Rather, she supported her boys with stable jobs first in oil and gas accounting and later in life insurance mathematics. But she never forgot her former German students and loves them to this day.

Throughout her interesting and challenging life she constantly sought to unravel personal problems brought on by having grown up in a very bewildering family. Against the background of her interesting life, it is this successful struggle that she shares with her readers, hoping it will be of help to people facing similar issues.

Now retired and her children successfully raised, she resides in Minneapolis.
