Harmony Revisited
In 2021, JD Bauer receives an invitation to his fifty-fifth high school reunion. When he tells his wife Carolyn that he wants to spend time revisiting his old hometown to remember it as it was, she's intrigued. She wants to hear stories, old and new, about a time in his life before she knew him, so together they embark on an unexpected journey. While JD is fulfilling his quest to enjoy fond memories, a hidden agenda is born-to confront and put to rest an emotional and haunting part of his past that has been kept largely sealed up and off-limits for decades. Though all his family is gone, some of the townspeople still carry memories of the loss of JD's father to an act of senseless violence and are supportive of his desire to put the hurt behind him.
The Shopkeeper's Family
Cultural upheaval was nothing new to the Mueller family. Although Herman's ancestors left the Rhineland to seek a more prosperous life as early as 1783, Herman and Johanna Mueller could never have guessed that in 1939 they would be forced to move, leaving behind all semblance of the comfortable family life they had built. Their prosperous future was thrown aside for the political and cultural debacle that resulted from Hitler's Nazi regime. This is the story of the Mueller family's journey through Central Europe at a time of war, of heart-wrenching events and ever-changing living situations, of Herman's unthinkable conscription to fight in the German army, and of gentle, generous Johanna's finding the strength to keep her family together at a time when so many things, not the least of which were cultural and gender biases made those tasks difficult. At last, an end of their turmoil was in sight with the difficult decision to venture to America where the opportunity for a new and prosperous life awaited.
