Hans Krueger is determined to find the one document that lends credibility to his heritage-his grandfather's birth certificate, believed to have been destroyed in 1918 in Sarajevo. Hans travels to that country in search of the document and barely escapes death and capture.As Hans learns of his grandfather Karl Krueger's past, he develops a profound appreciation of the older gentleman; of his past and his experiences. As a young man, Karl was swept up in the promises of Hitler and joined the Hitler Youth Movement. Several years before the War, the Whyte family from England sent their daughter, Sylvia, to live with the Krueger family. The Kruegers and Whytes, both desiring that their children experience another country, unknowingly bring two people together who will form a lifelong bond. But that bond is soon tested by the iron rule of Hitler. When World War II begins and Karl is drafted into the army, the two young lovers become enemies. Split apart, they are pitted against each other as the war destroys everything in its path. Will Karl and Sylvia be reunited or will the wounds of war be too deep to heal?Lee Carson's unique voice and perspective presents two opposite views-those wrapped up in Hitler's promises and those who were persecuted because of their birthright. The result is a masterful narration that deftly interweaves fiction based on historical fact.Lee Carson is a fulltime writer.
