Ashes Under Uricon

A most unique novel, with a daring and provocative theme.

In the past seventy years, thousands of books addressing the World War Two era have focused on the fierce military conflicts, the triumph over Nazism and Fascism, and the horrors of the Holocaust.  And rightfully so.

Now, for the first time in American fiction, here is a novel that addresses the experiences and feelings of the German-Americans, before, during, and after the War. It is a story of individuals who chose to extend their allegiances almost to the breaking point, and who continue, to this day, to cope with the horrendous guilt engendered by the madness of Hitlerism.

Ashes Under Uricon is the story of Astrid, a German-American woman raised in New York City, whose love for a German officer creates in her young life an upheaval of disastrous proportions. Based on actual historical events, this poignant and controversial story moves forward with dramatic energy. From the very beginning, the characters come alive and touch readers' hearts and minds.

Powerfully stirring and intensely moving, this is a very different novel of extraordinary love set against the backdrop of one of the most momentous eras in human history.
