A dramatic journey that takes place between youthful aspirations and the brink of despair and terrible death Love, war, and remembering are all powerful themes in this moving story. The difficulties my family faced between the First and Second World Wars are the basis of this unusual book that I, a Holocaust survivor's son, have written. It is a heartbreaking tale of the journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and eventual death. The story is about burning love, the futility of war, and the extermination of innocent people because of different beliefs. Based on a true story, it took me three years of research and uncounted travel to Poland. It is not an easy book to read and is geared toward adult readers.

When they got there, Angelo had a surprise waiting for them. Little did they know that this visit would change their lives forever. Cracks began to appear in marriages as well as in the wonderful friendships they had enjoyed for the past forty years. It all began with this first trip. It wouldn’t be their last. This book was written in Tuscany, inspired by real events that took place years ago.

Tenderly, hauntingly, and without fear, the thirteen sections in Thirties chronicle Andrews’ journey through a decade rife with both beauty and brutality.

Thirties resists contemplating the big, loud questions of the world, and rather, invites readers to find rest in knowing and loving themselves.
