My Name is Kreussenheimer: I: Open Your Heart

By Dale Preuss

Kevin lives in a world of extremes. Years ago, he turned away from a dark, secretive past to embrace the American dream. But relentless tragedy chips away at his resolve, leaving him fractured and vulnerable to relapse. Just as he's on the brink, fate intervenes. He rescues a teenage runaway from a deadly storm and receives a cryptic directive: "Trust her. Be her putty." But who is she, really? And what is she running from?

"I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. It's an immersive, compelling read about Kevin and those who enter his orbit. I recommend it to all lovers of fiction."-Florence DanielNote from the Author: This story began in 2010 after four unforgettable dreams: hero saves vulnerable girl. My Name is Kreussenheimer became my creative obsession. Kevin and Rachel emerged from pieces of my own life, three careers, fatherhood, coaching, risk-taking, and storytelling. I let the characters lead, building a complex, emotional world filled with hidden clues and plot twists, even I didn't see coming.

I hope you enjoy the ride.
