Yes, its a love story. It also discusses the horrors of (the Second World War) in Germany. Its a biography of my parents life, but I wrote it in a novel form so it reads as a story.

I was born in Breslau on October 5th, 1930. At that time, Breslau, now called Wroclaw, belonged to Germany, and only German was spoken there. After the Second World War, Breslau became Polish, and the original German population was almost completely replaced by a Polish one. I have never visited Wroclaw after the war.

Czechs are laughing beasts.

My mother got to read the book in print ... before she died and she was pleased with it.

He came over after World War II. He was in Germany learning from engineers when he was 16 years old. They taught him the method, and he did it for a while during the 1970s oil crisis. About a year and a half ago we were talking about the high prices and he said he might have to make his own fuel. I asked him what he was talking about, and he showed me how to do it. I did it for my family vehicles, and for friends, and it worked great. I thought I can actually teach people how to do this.

World War II... did not happen to everyone, but it happened to most. There were people from Germany who were throwing bombs at us.
