In the morning, while Gertrud is having breakfast in her cot, somebody suddenly knocks at the door. A blooding girl covered in scratches stands before her hut. Gertrud doesn’t think for long and takes the freezing young girl into her house.
Gertrud is very poor herself but brings through herself and her fosterling by sewing work and palm healing. Katharina learns much and helps in the garden.
Someday a hobby painter stands before her door and asks for a guest room. As there is nothing like that in the small house, they offer the visitor an old army tent. The visitor lives there for two weeks and pays well. This incident gives the two women the idea to professionally rent to vacation visitors. From a wooden hut built as a small vacation house soon become two and three.
The rush is so massive, that they build more and more huts and eventually even a hotel. Katharina rises from a poor beach girl to a hotel owner.
My Sweeping View onto the Sea is a thrilling life story written with much humor showing that everybody can manage not only to overcome his or her poverty, but prove prejudices wrong and become happy.
