About this ebook

In 1933, after Hitler's rise to power, the paramilitary HitlerJugend, or Hitler Youth, became the only permitted youth organization in Germany, then known as The Third Reich.
It’s 1937 now, and a fourteen-year-old German youth, Ernst, is part of a secret mission which will send a group of teen-aged boys to London under the pretense of a bicycle tour to spy for the Nazis. The cyclists’ objective: identify both geographical and human targets for subsequent elimination as Europe approaches a flashpoint that Hitler intends to exploit by waging all-out war. Ernst’s mentor, Officer Müller, considers him the perfect fit for a special assignment—spy on a wealthy British Jewish family considered a threat to the Reich as they shelter Jewish refugees from Nazi oppression.
In a parallel story, a modern-day American teen-aged orphan, Clark, has fallen under the spell of white supremacy ideology after a series of family misfortunes. Having lost his mother as a child to cancer and then his father a couple of years later to war in Iraq, he is in the hands of his unscrupulous guardian who manages to plant him as a child-agent in a Muslim household. Clark’s purpose: prove that the randomly-chosen Muslim family must be terrorists.
Each youth approaches his assignment with a masked heart filled with hate and a deep misunderstanding of who his hosts are, roiling the boys in emotional conflict as events unfold, and forcing each to face what will be the hardest decision of his entire life—help destroy what his handlers fear or find the courage to think for himself and face the consequences.

Aalia Lanius

For over 20 years Aalia Lanius has been sharing her personal experiences with audiences of all age groups and diverse backgrounds, speaking to the world, taking on the challenge of conveying the right message. Known as a successful business entrepreneur, author, and founder of non-profits rooted in helping society deal with heavy topics, she is dedicated to empowering others, sharing tragedies and triumphs, both positive and negative, allowing others to realize that there is always hope in the dark. Having been homeless and abandoned by her parents at 14 years old, it comes as a surprise to most that she launched her first company by 25 years old, graduated university with Honors, obtaining a BA in International Business, Managerial Leadership and Entrepreneurship, followed by attending Concord Law School. During this time, she also experienced personal and health challenges such as battling cancer three times, an unhealthy marriage that eventually ended but not before enduring domestic violence and emotional abuse. Lanius feels compelled to teach people that being “perfect” is an unrealistic idea and that everyone deserves the chance to change their circumstances, if they are willing to put in the effort. She has supervised youth ministry and founded two non-profit organizations: (1) One Day at a Time Cancer Foundation (2) Unsugarcoated Media. Lanius is the author of Tough Love, a biographical fiction novel based on her life and the historical fiction novel, Jugend, releasing March 31, 2019.
