The Trail to Sunrise

Résumé du livre

Loosely based on an old family legend, Lost Treasures takes readers to Berlitt in the former Communist-occupied East Germany. Growing up, Tammy Rose's father told her an intriguing story about her great-grandfather, Pein. A well-respected member of the community and head of the local bank, Pein allegedly buried gold coins worth millions of dollars beneath his pig barn shortly before the Russians invaded his small community. The plot is told from her father, Hans's perspective through his life in Germany, his time spent in refugee camps, and his struggles to make it to America. However, starvation and death couldn't prepare him for the worst trial yet to come: his brother's ultimate betrayal.

All Hans Haiges wanted was to become a successful farmer. However, fate had a very different path for this young German boy. His journey would test him time and time again and would tug on the very depths of his soul.

In 1945, as Berlin and nearby communities crumble, Hans's family must try to survive the aftermath of a war-torn country. Just as his things appear to brighten, another cruel twist of fate forces Hans to come to grips with his past.
