Produktbeschreibung
Set in the desperate turmoil of Germany during the final chapter of World War II, "Paper Boats" is an emotionally inspiring, fast-paced read with twists and turns, examining the inevitable crossing of ideology, prejudice and faith through two young boys, Otto, of Jewish faith and Joseph, a Hitler Youth. The most unlikely of partners, they are forced on an unforgiving journey, cast in deep personal conflict that is entangled with deceit and betrayal. Yet, they become bound to each other, forever challenging their individual perceptions of mankind and the world around them. But the reaper is never idle, and war tightens its grip upon Otto and Joseph as their journey unfolds. Otto's heart wanes, Joseph's hatred swells, and without warning, the steady menace of war unleashes an evil, the likes of which they have never witnessed before.
Autorenporträt
Born and raised in a small town in New Jersey, Erndell Scott spent his childhood 'imagining it' as he ran around in the woods, built forts, played cowboys and Indians and re-lived episodes of the Saturday morning World War II saga, 'Combat!' with Vic Morrow. Despite studying in college to be in the forestry profession, when career choice time was upon him, Erndell found himself drawn to the bigger, faster, more dynamic world of advertising. After years as a copywriter and art director - yet another chance for him to 'imagine it' as he traveled to captivating places, met interesting people and crafted work that in many cases redefined culture, Erndell tired of the drama, false celebrity and fast-paced excitement of the 'ad man' lifestyle. He found himself seeking a more satisfying form of using his imagination, where he could create his own work - without boundaries. He turned to fiction writing and hasn't looked back. Today, his imagination runs free as he pens works such as his breakout novel "Paper Boats," alternating his time between his rural farm in Indiana and his family home in Vermont. Considering both places home, Erndell welcomes the quiet respite and calm of his career. The little boy of New Jersey is satisfied, playing in the woods, being Vic Morrow and 'imagining it'.
