Two Boats: An Immigrant Story - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Two Boats: An Immigrant Story is the historical, recalled and imagined story of the parental families of Micheline, their history, their backgrounds, their roots, and their collective connection to their Homeland in Germany. The story of Micheline’s family, and their experiences in Germany before and during WWII, enduring the post-war peace and reconstruction in defeated Germany, and eventually deciding to leave their Homeland and find a new one by immigrating to America is woven from childhood memories, letters to and from family and friends, and documents with family stories written and collected over decades. While the story is personal to the family of Micheline, it touches the same themes, divided loyalties, and struggles to accept and be accepted, that immigrants universally experience when leaving their Homelands and establishing new lives in an adopted Homeland, one that never really becomes home.
