I am trying an experiment by putting my newest book on special at $2.99 in Kindle format for a week. Please, please, please help me push Bohemia and Broken Hearts up to the #1 position. Tell your friends and neighbors. Let’s see if we can do this.

The special is on Amazon U.S. and Amazon U.K. websites. Those are the only two sites that Amazon allows me to put the book on special. Oh, and tomorrow Gold and Gunslingers will also go on special for $2.99 on both sites.

What the Bohemia and Broken Hearts is about:

In this gripping and emotional dual-timeline genealogical mystery, the fourth in the Tangled Roots series, Lucas Landry journeys alone to the Czech Republic in search of clues about his mother’s ancestors after discovering what he’d always believed about her heritage was wrong.

Bohemia and Broken Hearts is a poignant and gripping genealogical mystery that explores the intricate threads of family relationships, love, trust, and war. Lucas Landry, a Californian, moved to Germany with his wife and children to explore his paternal ancestry but a recent event has left him disenchanted with genealogy. When his brother Seth discovers some surprising information about their mother’s ancestry, Lucas reluctantly embarks on a journey to the Czech Republic to uncover the truth. However, what seems like a simple trip becomes a maze of unforeseen problems that Lucas could not have predicted.

Alternating with Lucas’s story are the tales of his ancestors, Simon Muskowsky and Marie, who find themselves trapped in WWII in the tiny village of Klein Mohrau, Sudetenland. Their love story unfolds amidst the chaos of war and the struggles of daily life. As Lucas delves deeper into his family’s history, he discovers more about his mother’s ancestry and his own roots. However, what he truly longs for is to mend his shattered marriage and reunite with his wife and children.

Bohemia and Broken Hearts is a beautifully written novel that weaves together the past and present, revealing the intricate connections between generations. It is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, mystery, and family drama.

I just finished reading Bojemia and Broken Hearts. This is a very engaging story, very well written and very informative about the Sudetenland, of which I knew very little. Also interesting to view the early days of WWii from a native German peasant’s point of view. Thanks Susan for another great book.
