Wonderfully illustrates the creative power and enduring influence of simple kindness

Based on the life story of author Beverly DiMare's paternal grandparents who immigrated to America from Central Europe during the early part of the 20th century, "The Lake Geneva Chronicles" tells the story of their settling down in the small Wisconsin farming community of Lake Geneva. DiMare weaves into her superbly crafted narrative universal concepts that include the sacredness of family, the value of friendship, the utter baseness of child abuse, as well as the importance of music, art and literature in daily life. "The Lake Geneva Chronicles" engagingly underscores the family as the foundation of a strong and healthy community, including the necessity of parents teaching their children this critically important truth - so that those children will grow up and teach their own families the values they themselves were schooled in. Entertaining, deftly written, and highly recommended reading, "The Lake Geneva Chronicles" wonderfully illustrates the creative power and enduring influence of simple kindness to make the world we live in a better place - generation by generation.
