Chapter 01
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Dolomites had always held a special place in Sönke's heart, a connection that went beyond the breathtaking peaks and the thrill of skiing. It was a connection that was woven into the very fabric of his family's history.
Sönke's grandmother, Fritzi, was born in Innsbruck in 1903. A lively and spirited young woman, she met her future husband, Carl Georg, in the very heart of the mountains she loved. Carl Georg, an assistant doctor at a clinic in Innsbruck, was drawn to Fritzi's vivacity and charm. They fell in love amidst the backdrop of the towering Dolomites, a love as enduring and majestic as the mountains themselves.
As a young bride, Fritzi followed Carl Georg to Kiel, leaving behind the mountains but carrying them in her heart. Together, they built a life and a family, raising seven children. The second youngest of those children Eckhard would become Sönke's father.
The stories of Fritzi and Carl Georg, their love, their adventures in the mountains, and their life in Kiel were passed down through the generations. Sönke grew up on these tales, each one a cherished family heirloom. The Dolomites were not just a destination; they were a part of his heritage.
Now, as he looked at the plane tickets and the itinerary for the upcoming skiing trip with his daughters, Gwen and Lea, Sönke felt a profound connection to his roots. This trip was not just about skiing; it was a journey back to a place that had shaped his family's destiny.
Gwen and Lea, each unique in their passions and pursuits, were equally excited about the trip. Gwen's linguistic talents and musical abilities had taken her across the world, and Lea's adventurous spirit had already seen her sail the globe with her father. Yet, the Dolomites held a new promise, a new adventure.
As Sönke shared the stories of Grandma Fritzi (aka Ama) and Grandpa Carl Georg (aka Apa) with his daughters, he saw their eyes light up with the same spark that had ignited his imagination as a child. The Dolomites were calling them, just as they had called Fritzi and Carl Georg all those years ago.
The trip was not just a celebration of Sönke's 60th birthday or Gwen's 30th or Lea's 10th. It was a celebration of family, of history, of the bonds that connected them to each other and to the mountains that had witnessed the beginning of their family's story.
As they began to pack and prepare, the excitement was palpable. The Dolomites awaited, and the family was ready to embrace the adventure, to glide down the slopes, to explore, to laugh, to connect.
The SGL series was about to begin, and it was a story only they could write.

Gwen's Melody in the SGL Series

In my own words...
Writing the SGL series with my father and sister has been a journey of discovery, not just through the beautiful Dolomites but within our family's history and connections. It's a celebration of our shared experiences, our individual passions, and the bonds that tie us together.
The Dolomites have always been a part of our family's story, and this book allowed me to explore that heritage while adding my own voice. As a doctor, I've learned the importance of empathy and understanding, and I've tried to infuse those values into our narrative.
Music and language have always been my way of connecting with the world. In the SGL series, I've been able to use those passions to create a symphony of family, adventure, and joy. It's more than just a skiing trip; it's a melody that resonates with our family's soul.
Writing this book was like composing a song with my family. Each of us added our unique notes, and together we've created a harmony that reflects our love, our history, and our shared adventures. I hope our readers feel the warmth and joy that we've poured into these pages.
