Praise for FROM THE BOHEMIAN HILLS:'I greatly enjoyed Randall Reyman's new novel, From the Bohemian Hills; its compelling plot made it hard to put this book down. The novel's storyline takes the reader on the emigrant-immigrant's journey as imagined from the perspective to two main-character families and an additional cast of both real and imagined characters that together, present a variety of contemporary viewpoints and thus a more greatly nuanced story. Thus, Reyman's approach gives us a primer in Czech history that further puts his fictional story into a larger historic context. The reader of Bohemian Hills will not soon forget its history lessons through Reyman's unforgettable characters.' D.J.B., Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International.…
