New WWII Novel CAUGHT is Released

Taken by force by the Nazis from his German family, 16-year-old Janos becomes trapped in the last-gasp efforts of World War II. His years-long incarceration in Russian POW camps takes him to places of darkness, where he survives a near-death experience, and survives physical and emotional starvation in hard labor camps.

Though vast numbers of prisoners die, Janos comes to thrive as he finds friendship, compassion, healing, mentoring, and love as well.

Looking back at his experiences after many years, now a successful executive in Germany, Janos relates his horrifying and good experiences to a pretty young woman. She is drawn into his moving tapestry of shocking events that took place in POW camps deep within Russia, but shift eventually to uplifting experiences. This important story proves the saying that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

"This book is not only a fascinating read, but an important story about war and survival. We are pleased to announce its release," said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.

"Told in flashbacks, 'Caught: Surviving the Turbulent River of Life' explores the intricate nature of suffering and memory, delving into the complexities of how the past - even the most vicious episodes - informs the present, and the very nature of the self. Uta Christensen, with striking prose and a poetic sensibility, brings the darker chapters of history to life in such a way that one is instantly captivated by a concurrent horror and pity, a sense of tragedy, but, too, a catharsis in overcoming, in human resilience and beauty itself. A truly breathtaking novel, 'Caught' is a tour de force of literary perfection; poignant, unremitting, and painfully real, this book is essential reading for all those willing to face hard truths - and grow from them." - Charles Asher, Amazon, 5 stars
