    About this ebook

    Throughout occupied Europe, amidst tyranny and terror, common people gathered around their kitchen tables and plotted treason. It was a crime against the state to save a life.

    Do you believe it cannot happen here? They thought it could not happen there.

    Letta held the hands of her two best friends as they stepped off the train. They missed the Girls Home in Berlin, just a smoldering ruin after the night of terror. The rabbi searched the crowd for the couple who promised to shepherd the girls to safety. They fell instead into the Gestapo's trap - only to vanish into the faceless crowd in the confusion. Three young lives spun madly into the Nazi maelstrom, torn apart, surviving only on the slenderest thread of faith. As the Allied armies crept ever closer, and the corrupt Gestapo captain frantically sought their arrest, how could the three angels hope to survive the inescapable cataclysm?

    I have coffee most every morning at my "office" - a small table in a 1920s style restaurant and hotel called the Olympic Club in Centralia, Washington. Visitors assume I work there, some think I am the manager. I direct people to the bathrooms - the urinals in this place are a tourist attraction all by themselves. This is where I write. The chaos and atmosphere prep me for the day, and everyone in town knows if you need to talk to me, just drop by the "Oly Club."Most don't know that I have a master's degree in business, and have run my own technology company for nearly twenty of my last forty working years. I won a national championship on horseback, raced sailboats, wrestled octopus, baby-sat a killer whale, and once was a cook on a salmon purse seiner.I have read "A Soldier's Burial' aloud over General Patton's grave in Luxembourg, and said a prayer of thanks at the very spot at Magaret in Belgium where the German panzers were stopped outside Bastogne. I cried on Omaha Beach in Normandy and in the gas chamber at Dachau. I wear a silver Stetson and boots when I travel and answer to "Hey, cowboy!' in several languages.I have led an interesting life - married forty years, have three children, nine grandchildren, and thirty foster children, some with families of their own now. I am now free to pursue my passion for writing - especially about the two great wars of the twentieth century. So I cherish my role as "author-in-residence," or that crazy guy at the table by the urinals - it depends on your perspective.
