THE SUMMER EVERYTHING CHANGED |
 |
My novel, THE SUMMER EVERYTHING CHANGED will be published by Wellstone Press on May 14, 2012. It was a summer of the war. The summer of Rudi but mostly of that other boy. The summer of Lilly, a girl I never met but who has always been with me. It was the summer everything changed. So begins this story of a teenage girl’s awakening during during the height of WWII in the summer of 1943. Meet Janet Kessler, daughter of immigrant parents and the sole Jewish family in town. The novel, told in diary form, reveals the culture in small town mid-west America, the yearning for love, growing awareness of the horrors of war, and the discovery of her true values. |
