Now in paperback; Uncommon Journey is the true story of a Jewish brother and sister who fled their native Austria in September 1938; a week before war broke out. Destination? Shanghai. Uncommon Journey addresses the universal issues of persecution and the will to survive. This unique memoir is told by siblings ten years apart who share very different memories; often of the same events. The truth becomes a mosaic with many facets; creating a moving portrait of a family uprooted.

This book will make you want to read and learn more about "The Devil Forrest;" the "Mad Woman;" "The Legend;" and eight more interesting people and their associates. Like other authors whose background is in journalism; David Hardin writes in clear; readable language. His choice of subjects; from Elizabeth Custer to Mary Boykin Chesnut; is imaginative and informative. Probably the best Civil War Book to come out this year.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Most of this was new to meBy Mary Lee SpragueInteresting follow up stories about civil war figures. Some healed better than others. What if we knew then what we know now about PTSD? It helped me understand my southern ancestors and their glorification of the "lost cause."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Lessons We Are Still LearningBy K. UlrichNever thought about what happened to these people after the war. Very enlightening; and should be read by all those who advocate for war.
