Produktbeschreibung
Edward Gessler had it all-wealth, good looks, and charisma. As he finished his Ph.D. in law in Berlin, Dora Bach fell in love with him, and an unplanned pregnancy pulled the two of them into marriage. They settled in her hometown of Warsaw, but in 1939, they were pulled apart by war. The Nazis invaded Poland while Edward was in Paris on business. All efforts to get news about his family failed. Edward could only assume his Jewish wife and children had been imprisoned or worse. Through a series of events, Edward became a British double agent to avenge his family's fate. After the war, he was finally able to conduct a search and face the truth about his family. At the same time, Edward's eldest son, David, started a search of his own after high school graduation. He traveled to Israel to live on a kibbutz established by Poles to begin looking for his father.

She also taught writing at the local community college. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in English with a writing concentration from the University of Wisconsin. The history of the World War II era has been of special interest to McCloskey because her parents were young adults during the war years.

Beyond this personal attachment to the time period, she has done extensive reading and research into this time period and people who lived through it. Other titles by McCloskey include: "Finding Gessler" and "The Tea and Biscuit Girls," "The Love Immigrants," "The Subversive," and "Grounded No More."
