In 1961, just before the Wall rises, three teenagers from an American school in West Germany travel to the Communist side of the divided city to join a rally.

Book excerpt: From a New York Times–bestselling author, a “gripping and beautifully written” novel of love and family set against the backdrop of Cold War Berlin (Bookpage). Berlin, 1961. Days before the Wall rises, three teenagers from an American school in West Germany travel to the Communist side of the divided city to join a May Day rally. One of them has brought along a flight bag belonging to his father, a US intelligence officer. Before long, the teens are in the custody of the secret East German police, the notorious Stasi. Unbeknownst to them, their parents have unfinished business, reaching back to World War II, which will pull the three friends into the vortex of an international incident. Told through flashbacks by alternating narrators, Secret Father is a novel of missed signals, cloaked motives, false postures, and panicked responses that tragically echo across borders and generations. Like the classic period thrillers of Graham Greene, James Carroll’s politically charged coming-of-age tale provides a “somber and evocative look at some of the most frightening times in one of the most frightening places in the Cold War” (Kirkus Reviews). “Carroll writes with rich, lyrical ease,” raves Publishers Weekly. “His characters are richly drawn, and the pieces of his impeccably paced story fit together with the cool precision of a Mercedes-Benz.”

Download or read book My Father s Secret War written by Lucinda Franks and published by Miramax Books. This book was released on 2008-03-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving and compelling memoir about parent and child, father and daughter, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Lucinda Franks discovers that the remote, nearly impassive man she grew up with had in fact been a daring spy behind enemy lines in World War II. Sworn to secrecy, he began revealing details of his wartime activities only in the last years of his life as he became afflicted with Alzheimer's. His exploits revealed a man of remarkable bravado -- posing as a Nazi guard, slipping behind enemy lines to blow up ammunition dumps, and being flown to one of the first concentration camps liberated by the Allies to report on the atrocities found there. My Father's Secret War is an intimate account of Franks coming to know her own father after years of estrangement. Looking back at letters he had written her mother in the early days of WWII, Franks glimpses a loving man full of warmth. But after the grimmest assignments of the war his tone shifts, settling into an all-too-familiar distance. Franks learns about him -- beyond the alcoholism and adultery -- and comes to know the man he once was. Her story is haunting, and beautifully told, even as the tragedy becomes clear: Franks finally comes to know her father, but only as he is slipping further into his illness. Lucinda Franks understands her father as the disease claims him. My Father's Secret War is a triumph of love over secrets, and a tribute to the power of the connection of family.

Download or read book Our Father s Secret written by Joyce Kavanagh and published by Orion. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story of abuse. Three sisters. A shattered Irish childhood. Joyce, June and Paula Kavanagh were three sisters born to a family of ten in Ballyfermot, Dublin in the 1960s. Their father abused all three of them in the family home throughout their childhood. In 1989, the sisters made the brave decision to bring charges against their father and, in 1990, the state took a successful case against him. He was convicted and imprisoned. Click, Click is the story of their abuse; the exposure of a man prolific in his paedophilia; and an Irish childhood lost in a dysfunctional, abusive and torturous environment. Importantly, however, it is also the story of three women's healing; their coming to terms with their abuse, and their forgiveness of themselves and others. The Kavanagh sisters have refused to allow their abuse to define them. With fierce humour, insight and honesty, they now share their story and show that with love and determination, you can indeed conquer all.

Download or read book The Father s Secret written by Billy Boyd Lavender and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like sands through an hourglass, there will come a time when our Father in heaven will reveal the secret that only he holds-not the Son, nor the angels but the Father only. That moment in this day and the hour that no one knows will occur in the twinkling of an eye. Within a very short period after this, not to exceed several months, the Antichrist will sign a seven-year peace treaty between Israel and the Arab nations. The signing of this peace treaty begins the earth's last 1007-year countdown. The first mention of this peace treaty is found in Daniel 9:27. In hindsight, we can understand why it made Daniel sick since the vision was given to him centuries before Christ was born. Daniel and the Revelation of Christ to John are closely related and chronologically explain these 1007 years. When the Father's secret is revealed, the generation of believers alive at that time will be changed to immortality and into an imperishable body suited for the New Jerusalem and eternity
