    Journey To America Series

    About this series

    Based On A True Story

     

    On November 27th 1954, Karl Veth boards a plane that will take him to his new life. After surviving World War II as a teenager, and spending several years earning a master degree in his chosen trade, Karl leaves Germany behind and sets out for America.

     

    He secures work the very same day he steps off the plane at Idlewild Airport in New York, and is stunned and amazed to learn he will be free to work as many jobs and as many hours as he pleases. Gone are the restrictions he left behind in Germany where citizens are permitted to work at only one place of employment at a time, and only for a set number of hours a day. His first taste of real freedom is pure bliss.

     

    As Karl adapts to his new homeland, he allows his entrepreneurial spirit to run wild. He has a knack for coming up with successful business ideas, and considers every challenge an adventure. Over the years, he starts and sells a number of successful businesses because he can. There are no limits to what he can achieve in his new homeland.

     

    There is not a single day in Karl's life he regrets moving to America and becoming a citizen. For him, America truly was and is, the land of opportunity.

      Based on a true story. Germany, October 1945. World War II has come to an end and after narrowly surviving the fall of Berlin and the months afterward, Karl Veth is faced with new challenges. He must help his family survive in an impoverished country torn apart by war. Food is scarce but using the street-smarts he developed throughout the war, Karl is able to establish a trading network between local farmers and the US military to help provide for his family. Until his father puts an end to it. At 15 years old, Karl should have already left home and completed the first year of an apprenticeship in his chosen trade. With the war over, his father insists he behave like a responsible adult, leave home, and learn a trade so he can provide for himself. Uncertain of which direction to take, Karl accepts a position on a fishing vessel until he can decide on an honorable trade. A kind ship's captain and his friend, a retired master chef, come to Karl's aid and set him on a course that will change his life forever. Over the next few years, under the tutelage of a stern master, he will learn more, much more, than the required skills of his chosen craft.  Author's Note: Karl Veth's story began in the Degree series. He is the main character in the books and after reading the series, fans wanted to learn more about his life after the war. Encouraged by readers and their desire to know more, the story of Karl's journey to America begins in Germany in Book 1 and will be completed in Book 2.  Recommended reading order: Children To A Degree – Book 1 Loyal To A Degree – Book 2 Trust To A Degree – Book 3 Partners To A Degree – Book 4 Postwar Survivor - Journey To America: Book 1
