As a young girl, she took drugs, was sexually abused by a doctor, fell in love twice with alcoholic men and married them; both died young. She developed an eating disorder and suffered from depression for years. Elisabeth Lichtblau (born 1953) tells her life story in her autobiography in a sober but unsparing way. God plays a major role, but the book is not missionary. It encourages its readers to believe in its great power and never to lose faith in the good. "SOS an Gott" is a life story in which everyone will find themselves in certain situations. It is an encouraging story that shows that things can get better. It is a love story that also tells of the love for God and for one's own self.
