Description

In this remarkable record of personal and world history, Hans - left motherless at birth and raised by his grandmother - maintains hope and faith as he battles the tragedies of a childhood during the cruelty of war and the rejection of his father, and is eventually sent to America onboard the George Washington to work on his uncle's farm in Iowa. The inspirational story follows him as he learns to navigate this adventurous new chapter in his life, overcoming the darkness of his childhood and forging a brand new way for himself. Hans' new life in America is not always easy, but with courage and optimism he makes it through the bad - the financial woes of the Great Depression, concern for his family back in Nazi ravaged Germany - and the good - learning English and becoming a U.S. citizen, finding love and starting a family.
