About the Book

Hungary managed to avoid war in its homeland for significantly longer than its neighboring countries and remained one of the safest places until late in the war. After the Nazi occupation in 1944, that all changed. The Hungarian army invaded Yugoslavia and Russia, but after massive losses of Hungarian soldiers, Hungary was now in Russia's crosshairs. The story's first half chronicles the life of a young girl named Anoosh, who lived in Hungary during World War II. She experiences things no child should ever endure. Anoosh and some friends and family members are eventually forced to leave the only home her family has ever known and start a new life in America.


The simple life of living on a farm in a small village may have been idyllic until the horrors of war came crashing in. The young girl was to suffer what we now call PTSD. Certain sights and sounds would trigger these bad memories well into her old age.


Follow Anoosh's fascinating journey. You'll sometimes smile, perhaps laugh at her special moments with her beloved pets. Her remarkable pig with an extra curly tail will highlight many milestones throughout her story. Other times, you'll be sad, even angry. It's a journey worth taking.


You'll also meet an assassin with a heart of gold, who is essential to the family's survival in Hungary and Germany. The Tale continues in America, featuring both heartwarming and heartbreaking moments in the Hungarian woman's life. Many of these people could be someone you know. We hope you enjoy the surprising turns in this extra-curly tale.



About the Author :
David Allyne Shepherd is a first-generation Arizona native. His work history is quite varied, most recently working as Santa Claus at a local mall. He is both a self-taught blues guitarist and a classically trained tenor. His interests are decidedly "old school," spanning history, old movies (especially the noir type), and music from eras long before his time. He has several unpublished stories waiting for their turn. As an interesting note, Daniel Boone is a part of Dave's family tree on his father's side. Rox M. Ven was born in Germany while her father was serving in the US Army and was raised in New Jersey. She moved to Arizona in the '90s with her husband and two daughters. Roxann met Dave in 2010 while working on the US Census project and found that they shared a kindred interest in the arts and other pursuits. After sharing her mother-in-law's childhood wartime stories with Dave, he was happy to lead this collaboration, transforming her true stories into his creative fiction tale.
