520    "Set against a backdrop of Adolf Hitler's rise to power, 
       the reign of Nazi Germany, and the entire course of World 
       War II in Europe, American Shoes recounts the tumultuous 
       childhood of a young American girl and her family trapped 
       within a country that turned against itself, where human 
       decency eroded and then vaporized. Forced to grow up in 
       the midst of endemic fear stoked by a ravenous madman, 
       American Shoes portrays the breakdown of a society from a 
       child's point of view, deep inside a land where millions 
       of law-abiding citizens were targeted as threats, and then
       removed for extermination. This is the story of a brave 
       girl who, despite not being Jewish, was perceived to be 
       one of those threats and was compelled to keep her 
       American identity secret for fear of her family's arrest, 
       concentration camp placement, or worse. Fighting to see 
       through a relentless barrage of Nazi lies and propaganda, 
       caught within a nation where resistance or opposition 
       meant incarceration if not certain death, American Shoes 
       illuminates one family's struggle to survive against 
       impossible odds as a cataclysmic world war marched closer 
       and closer until it was upon them. Vividly told for the 
       first time after seven decades of a family's collective 
       silence, American Shoes reveals the story of a brave and 
       spirited young girl named Rosel who refused to accept the 
       new order of a world gone mad, inside a society that 
       became more sinister and macabre than any childhood 
       nightmare could ever be. Driven by the faint memories of 
       the land where she was born-a hazy beacon that guided her 
       toward freedom and a new life-this is the story of 
       Rosemarie Lengsfeld Turke"--|cProvided by publisher.
