Theo’s Diary by Barbara J. Duell.
A Novel Of War, Love, and Regret.
Theo sat on the old bench across from the cemetery and pulled his jacket close to his chest. The service for his closest friend had ended an hour ago, but he would wait. After everyone left, Theo would go into the Friedhof, place his single rose atop the freshly turned soil, and say his goodbyes. Now he sat in the cold and felt old. Life was such a temporary place, and he knew he could not wait any longer to do what he needed to do. He had to write down all he’d hide away years ago; memories buried deep in a private place. Theo had to reach beyond the comfort of these new days and unwrapped the terrible; the hurt and anguish, of love, found then lost, regrets locked away but never forgotten.
Twenty years later, and a continent away, family secrets revealed to Rick Dahlman demand he controls his disbelief and anger as he travels to Europe to unravel over thirty years of lies and deceit, a journey steeped in history. In a quest to find answers to his identity, he will meet the classic, elegant Anna. As Rick demands answers to his very existence from ghosts of the past, his emotional resolve is blindsided by the beautiful, headstrong Karlotta. Lost in a whirlpool of passion and desire so strong only their love and the surprising answers Rick finds in Theo’s diary will guide them to the awakening of a new life. And so begins Theo’s Dairy. The reminiscence of love and pain, war and regret, a life that spans two world wars, two continents, and almost ninety-one years. In his simple way, Theo will share truth and lies, dreams and devastation, relationships so filled with passion you will stop and draw in a breath, just to slow time. And lives will be changed.

Barbara has lived by the sea, high in the pine forest where eagles soar, in a valley near the river’s edge, and now resides in the delicate land of the southwestern desert.
