Book Description
Austin Returns with a Multi-Generational Historical Novel Geesje de Jonge crossed the ocean at age seventeen with her parents and a small group of immigrants from the Netherlands to settle in the Michigan wilderness. Fifty years later, in 1897, she's asked to write a memoir of her early experiences as the town celebrates its anniversary. Reluctant at first, she soon uncovers memories and emotions hidden all these years, including the story of her one true love. At the nearby Hotel Ottawa Resort on the shore of Lake Michigan, twenty-three-year-old Anna Nicholson is trying to ease the pain of a broken engagement to a wealthy Chicago banker. But her time of introspection is disturbed after a violent storm aboard a steamship stirs up memories of a childhood nightmare. As more memories and dreams surface, Anna begins to question who she is and whether she wants to return to her wealthy life in Chicago. When she befriends a young seminary student who is working at the hotel for the summer, she finds herself asking him all the questions that have been troubling her. Neither Geesje nor Anna, who are different in every possible way, can foresee the life-altering surprises awaiting them before the summer ends.

Book Description
Jacob Luurszen (b.1616) immigrated from Holland to New Netherland, New York, and married Stijntje Douwes. Luur Jacobsen, their American born son, adopted a surname of "van Kuykendaal." Through his six sons, Luur became the common ancestor of most present-day Kuykendalls (including variant spellings). Earlier research has chiefly focussed on the elder sons of Luur who moved to Pennsylvania, Virginia and to the southwest. Little has been documented about the descendants and relatives of Luur's last son, Pieter van Kuykendaal, who remained in New York. Vol. 1 deals with the early Dutch ancestors in New York and Pennsylvania of Theodore Kuykendall (1860-1945), grandfather of the author, and a direct descendant in the thirteenth generation of immigrant Jacob Luurszen. Vol. 2 has some additional genealogy for this ancestry of Theodore, but chiefly deals with other descendants of Pieter van Kuykendaal. The Cuykendall and Coykendall branches are not complete, and " ... are intended to encourage others of those families to complete that research"--Foreword to v. 2. Descendants and relatives of Pieter lived in New York, New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota and elsewhere.

Book Description
The true story of a German-Jewish love that overcame the burdens of the past. Finalist for the 2017 Book of the Year Award by the Chicago Writers Association “A book that is hard to put down.” —Jerusalem Post “This book confirms Annette Gendler as an indispensable Jewish voice for our time." —Yossi Klein Halevi, author of Like Dreamers "The ghosts of the past haunt a woman’s search for herself in this thoughtful, poignant memoir about the transformative power of love and faith.” —Hillary Jordan, author of Mudbound, now a Netflix movie “An exquisitely written conversion story which expounds upon personal and collective identity.” —Washington Independent Review of Books “A compelling, gracefully written memoir about the impact of the past on the present.” —Michael Steinberg, author of Still Pitching History was repeating itself when Annette fell in love with Harry, a Jewish man, the son of Holocaust survivors, in Germany in 1985. Her Great-Aunt Resi had been married to a Jew in Czechoslovakia before World War II―a marriage that, while happy, put the entire family in mortal danger once the Nazis took over their hometown in 1938. Annette and Harry’s love, meanwhile, was the ultimate nightmare for Harry’s family. Not only was their son considering marrying a non-Jew, but a German. Weighed down by the burdens of their family histories, Annette and Harry kept their relationship secret for three years, until they could forge a path into the future and create a new life in Chicago. Annette found a spiritual home in Judaism―a choice that paved the way toward acceptance by Harry’s family, and redemption for some of the wounds of her own family’s past.
