Immigrant Soldier, The Story of a Ritchie Boy, based on the true experiences of a refugee from Nazi Germany.
It combines a coming of age story with an immigrant tale and a World War II adventure.
On a cold November morning in 1938, Herman watches in horror as his cousin is arrested.
As a Jew, he realizes it is past time to flee Germany, a decision that catapults him from one adventure to another, his life changed forever by the gathering storm of world events.
Gradually, Herman evolves from a frustrated teenager, looking for a place to belong, into a confident U.S. Army Intelligence officer who struggles with hate and forgiveness.
A published author of fiction and nonfiction for youth, Kathryn Lang-Slattery is an expert on the Ritchie Boys of WWII.
More than a decade of research and writing has resulted in her first adult novel, Immigrant Soldier, The Story of a Ritchie Boy, based on her uncle’s World War II experiences.
