Libro 1 di 6: Rietman Family Chronicles
Sinossi
A farm boy fleeing hardship during the Great Depression finds adventure, love, war, and ultimately himself in a journey that spans the American century.
Across the Grain of Time begins not with kings or generals, but with two Prussian boys who stepped off a ship in America carrying little more than determination, impossible surnames, and a dream of land of their own. From the forests and prairies of nineteenth-century Indiana grew generations of farmers, wanderers, soldiers, dreamers, and storytellers whose lives mirrored the growth of a young nation.
At the heart of this remarkable family saga is Joe Rietman, a boy who endured hardship, poverty, and an often-brutal home life before finding refuge on neighboring farms during the Great Depression. Possessed of an adventurous spirit and stubborn resilience, Joe's journey carries him from Indiana farm fields to the mountains of Oregon, from Army service in World War II to postwar life in the American West.
Along the way, readers encounter colorful characters, immigrant traditions, hunting camps, frontier humor, wartime experiences, and the enduring bonds of family. Rich with true stories, historical detail, and moments that are by turns heartbreaking, inspiring, and laugh-out-loud funny, this is the story of ordinary people who faced extraordinary challenges and kept moving forward.
Spanning nearly two centuries, Across the Grain of Time is more than a family history. It is a celebration of perseverance, faith, humor, and the restless desire to seek a better horizon just beyond the next ridge.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Across the Grain of Time: From Homeland to HorizonAcross the Grain of Time begins not with kings, generals, or famous names, but with two Prussian brothers who stepped off a ship in America carrying little more than determination, impossible surnames, and a dream of land of their own. From those humble beginnings grew generations of farmers, laborers, soldiers, adventurers, and storytellers whose lives reflected the larger story of America itself.At the center of this remarkable family saga is Joe Rietman, a boy born into hardship during a time when survival often depended on grit, luck, and the willingness to keep moving forward. Raised amid poverty, family turmoil, and the harsh realities of rural life, Joe learned early that the world offered no guarantees. Yet he also discovered that perseverance, humor, and hard work could open doors that seemed firmly closed.As America struggles through the Great Depression, Joe's journey carries him far beyond the Indiana farm country of his youth. He works as a hired hand, rides the rails in search of opportunity, hunts the rugged mountains of Oregon, and learns to find adventure wherever the road leads. Along the way he encounters colorful characters, unforgettable mentors, and enough mishaps to fill a lifetime of stories.When war engulfs the world, Joe answers the call to serve. His military experiences during World War II expose him to both the hardships of combat and the resilience of the human spirit. Like so many of his generation, he returns home changed by what he has seen, carrying memories that would shape the rest of his life.Rich with immigrant traditions, family lore, historical detail, frontier humor, and true stories passed down through generations, Across the Grain of Time follows one family's journey across nearly two centuries of American history. From the forests and prairies of the nineteenth century to the challenges and opportunities of the modern era, it celebrates the courage of ordinary people who built homes, raised families, endured hardship, and left a legacy that continues long after they are gone.Heartwarming, humorous, and deeply human, this is more than a family history and more than a memoir. It is a story of resilience, faith, adventure, and the enduring bonds that connect one generation to the next. Through triumph and tragedy, laughter and loss, the Rietman family discovers that the true measure of a life is not found in wealth or fame, but in the lives touched, the challenges overcome, and the horizons pursued.For readers who enjoy historical memoirs, family sagas, immigrant stories, and authentic accounts of American life, Across the Grain of Time offers an unforgettable journey through the people, places, and experiences that shaped a family and a nation.
