Book excerpt: When the attacks become too numerous, many women and children are sent to the interior of Eastern Germany... My grandparents refuse to vacate their house and instead stay behind. As I look back just before turning the corner, I see my doggy Teddy sitting in the middle of the road looking at me with sad eyes, wondering why he can't come along. This picture of Teddy looking and me raising my little hand waving good-bye stays with me for the rest of my life. I will not see him again... Following the air sirens, bombs, and rubble of World War II, many European citizens made the bold decision to immigrate to North America in order to build a better life from the ground up. After receiving his education and training in the volatile post-war economy, Johannes F. Lisiecki was one of the dreamers who made the journey across the Atlantic. Unfamiliarity with both the people and the language led him to the precipice of despair, but Johannes's perseverance and can-do attitude would bring his dreams within reach. Discover his story for yourself in this captivating, thought-provoking page-turner of how he became a proud American. "His determination... should set a philosophy of "Yes I Can." I highly recommend this book." Lloyd E. George, NASA National Space-Science Lecturer
