Overview
Three generations connected by music and haunted by secrets. Unnerved by his recent engagement and the prospect of parenthood, Tim Green, protagonist of Believe in Me and Never Break the Chain, digs further into his music-writer father's past and stumbles onto a hidden legacy that has shaped his family for generations: his grandfather was a Holocaust survivor. As Tim traces his father's and grandfather's lives back through the decades from San Francisco to New York to the Czech countryside, he grasps for the first time how each successive generation misses out on the critical turning points that molded our parents into the people we come to know. With the traumas in his family's whispered past now colliding with the present, Tim Green won't stop-can't stop-until he understands what this legacy means for his future. ************************************************************************************************************************************** Praise for Home Was a Dream: In this riveting and poignant narrative, Tim Green learns the tragic story of his father's family during the Holocaust and how that history and a shared love of music both haunt and bind generations of Green men together.
