520    "In the spring of 1941, seven-year-old Hildegarde 
       Ercklentz and her family leave their home in New York City
       and set off for their native Germany, where her father has
       been recalled to the headquarters of the Commerz & Privat 
       Bank in Berlin. It was meant to be an epic journey, 
       crossing the United States, the Pacific, and Siberia—but 
       when Hitler invades Russia, a week-long stay in Yokohama, 
       Japan becomes six years of quasi-detention, as Hildegarde 
       and her family are stranded in Japan until the war's end. 
       In this spellbinding memoir, Mahoney recounts her family's
       moving saga, from their courage in the face of terrible 
       difficulties—including forced relocation, scarce rations, 
       brutal winters in the Japanese Alps—to their joyous 
       reunion with their German relatives in Hamburg, and their 
       eventual return to New York City in 1950. Richly detailed 
       and remarkably vivid, Journey Interrupted is a story 
       unlike any other—the inspiring tale of an extraordinary 
       family adapting to the hazards of fate, and finding 
       salvation in each other." --|cProvided by publisher.
