Beschreibung

After losing his job and his marriage, Chic Lucas -- born Czeslaw Lukaszczyk -- journeys to Poland, where his grandfather died in Auschwitz and his father came out scarred for life. Exploring his family's past, Chic becomes increasingly entangled in Poland's rich and tragic history, with its dizzying blend of heroism and complicity. Caught between Jewish friends demanding restitution, Polish farmers barely scraping by, skinheads, lawyers, and two beautiful women, Lucas must find a way to reconcile the irreconcilable and become a peacemaker.

Portrait

Growing up among survivors of World War II atrocities, Curtis Urness has had a lifelong interest in the plight of Polish victims -- Christian and Jewish -- of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. He studied the Holocaust as he earned BA and MA degrees in Creative and Professional Writing from the University of Missouri. Stars & Crosses, his first novel, is inspired by their experiences.
