“Optimism is the ability to sense the blue sky behind the clouds.” – Madeleine Robinson
One could hardly describe the spirit of this special afternoon more aptly: thanks to many years of cooperation and close collaboration, the authors have decided to celebrate the launch of their joint book at the Heimerer Schools in Torgau. We are delighted about this.
Book launch – Premiere
“When it comes to life … My life with alcohol addiction”
Kerstin Hänert In
an authentic, open and unvarnished account, Kerstin Hänert describes her rocky journey, marked by fears, losses and relapses – and how she managed to rediscover the “blue sky” behind the darkest clouds of alcohol addiction.
Dr Wilfried Poßner
Wilfried Poßner complements this moving life story from the perspective of a founding member of HEPOROE gGmbH, a facility for people suffering from addiction in Zemnick (Wittenberg district).

A reading will take place beforehand as a ‘dress rehearsal’ for interested pupils.
From 2.30 pm, we cordially invite you to join us for coffee and cake. Afterwards,
there will be an opportunity for a book signing. Refreshments will be provided by the second-year occupational therapy students.
We look forward to a memorable premiere – an afternoon full of courage, openness and the confidence that behind every cloud there is a patch of blue sky waiting.
