Inhaltsangabe

An adoring young woman encounters Adolph Hitler when her youth group sings for him. He demands her company in private, and she becomes pregnant, bearing his child but never being contacted by Hitler again. The plot follows her life as an outcast believed to be lying about the child&;s parentage, and the life of her son told through her correspondence, diary entries, and from the point of view of a researcher who writes a generation later. Based on facts and documented history, author Ron Merten tells this tale with just enough creativity to make the story fascinating.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

 Rodney Merten was born exactly thirty years after the end of WWI and just three years after VE day. As an American of German heritage, Merten seems to be naturally attracted to this era. He lived and worked on his parent&;s farm during his childhood but followed their admonition to go to college. Even so, he had to re-invent himself several times to stay employed and to advance. He changed jobs every two to three years because he is an experiential learner. Once he knew how to do a job it no longer held an interest for him. Merten became a serious writer early in this 21st century, completing sequels to The Music Man and It&;s A Wonderful Life after completing The Peace POX. He is engaged to Rose, and a grandfather.

“Poor Herr. Hitler did not seem too interested in our singing. Probably he was still excited by the Anschluss and all. Anyway, he applauded at all the right times and especially after my solo. He even stood when he clapped for me. I saw him whisper to one of his men and point at me.
         “I was putting away my music, feeling pretty good, when the man, the one Hitler had been whispering to, came up to me. He was short, stout, not at all good looking. He said Herr. Hitler was so impressed by my singing that he wanted to meet me. He said this in front of everybody, even Father Sohn.
         “What could I do? One does not reject the Fuhrer. I did protest a little saying I would have no way to return home as the rest of the choir was leaving. He assured me that would not be a problem.”    --from Chapter One
