HALLAND, SWEDEN, October 09, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The inspiration to Salvatore Robert Froio's latest novel comes from an actual experience he had when he was nine years old. He watched the troop trains go by on the outskirts of Boston, bringing back soldiers from the Second World War. It was exciting to pick up the souvenirs that the troops threw to the kids from the train. Many years later, after serving in the military, he came to a conclusion that there are no winners from wars, only losers.
The story begins just before the First World War in Germany. We follow Siegfried immigrating to the U.S. where he starts his own family in Hermann, Missouri. Years later his son Fabian becomes a Nazi soldier impersonating an American at the Battle of the Bulge. It is his diary that a young boy Thomas picks up as a souvenir thrown out from the troop train. In the late fifties Thomas becomes obsessed with the diary and is determined to uncover the secrets of it.
