Price of Silence

(Amer Book Pub, Sept. 24, 2002)
Not all prisoners of war are captured on the frontlines. World War II produced prisoners of all sorts—in all places. Karl Breuer, a hardworking farmer and family man, is a prisoner to his past. Nettie Sato, a teenager like any other, is a prisoner in her own country. Rolfe Schmidt, a determined foreigner, is a prisoner to his hatred. Life extracts a high price from these three and their families: some for having a sordid past, others for events beyond their control, many for the violence and terror that disrupts their lives. But most costly of all is the price of silence.
