Samuel Piazza Pens AMERICAN FRAULEIN

Although it rose to power on the wave of hard-hitting propaganda and indoctrination, Nazi Germany eventually had most people wondering how this could have happened. In his new novel 'American Fraulein' author Samuel Piazza unravels the story of a young American woman who effortlessly (and at first, unknowingly) aligns herself with the Nazi Party just as World War II is about to commence. She betrays her country, her family, and herself before she realizes the true motives behind the dark mind of Adolf Hitler.

The protagonist in Piazza's book, Erika Willets, is a recent college graduate from a nice family in Chicago. She joins her father's publishing company, and travels with him to Europe to explore new economic ideas that might benefit the U.S. as it recovers from the Great Depression. While in Germany, Erika meets Friedrich, a handsome young man with whom she falls in love. She also meets Hitler, whom she finds inspirational as he describes his vision for the future. Behind the scenes, German officials are evaluating how the Willetses and their publishing business might hinder-or help- Nazi proliferation.

Piazza develops an intricate storyline that embraces and evokes the full spectrum of emotions as Erika falls in love, suffers through grief, betrays her family and allows herself to step over a line that was blurred from the beginning. The complexity of her life and her ability to reflect on the decisions that led her down this path are examined as the plot progresses. "'American Fraulein' will appeal to readers who enjoy a fast-paced spy mystery," says Piazza, "one which exposes a cycle of emotions and twists in life."

'American Fraulein' travels across the globe from Europe to Chicago to Los Angeles and it shifts gears seamlessly, delivering more than the usual spy novel fare. A well-developed cast of characters (one of whom helps tell an important part of the story), an informative epilogue, and a section at the end of the book that encourages further discussion, complement Piazza's suspenseful, thought-provoking narrative.
