Apple Pie and Strudel Girls: 2nd Edition

By: Barbara Celeste McCloskey

In 1939 Josie, Donna, and Rosalie graduated from high school and looked forward to their next life journey. Rosalie marries at eighteen; Donna enters the work world, and Josie spends the summer preparing for college. At the same time, a war percolated in Europe and Southeast Asia which seemed too far away to ever affect them. At the same time, three girls in Germany prepare for life after secondary school. Marta travels to Paris; Leisel stays at home, and Heidi becomes a nanny in Poland. They all are too young to understand the consequences of their fathers being officers in the Nazi party. For the next six years, all of the girls will experience drastic changes. They will experience love and loss, sacrifice and hardship, and as they come of age, they wonder if they will ever live in a world offering peace and happiness.

The Love Immigrants

By: Barbara Celeste McCloskey

The worst war in Europe is finally over in May, 1945, and after dancing in the streets of London, it's time to build a future people never thought they would have. The "war brides," who married American servicemen during the war, will begin their journeys across the Atlantic to be reunited with their husbands. As they board the great ships like the "Queen Mary," they have over a week to calm their anxieties about how they will be received in their new homeland. They are leaving everything dear to them - their country, their home, their family and their friends. With only small suitcases, they look forward to a long life with the men they love. Katie, Heidi and Jenny are three such brides. They have become women during the course of the war on the strength of their friendships, and now their bravery will take them on a much different journey. Barbara Celeste McCloskey lives in Southeastern Wisconsin with her husband and four-legged "children." She teaches writing at Gateway Technical College and holds a BA in English with a writing concentration from the University of Wisconsin. Her novels include: Apple Pie and Strudel Girls, Stranger in the Spotlight and Tea and Biscuit Girls.

Apple Pie and Strudel Girls

The World Changed for Six Girls Living a World Apart

By: Barbara Celeste McCloskey

Change was in the wind for three teenage American girls and three German girls. Their lives would soon become something they never dreamed. Their two countries would face off in a bitter world war that would alter their lives forever. In Germany, Heidi, Leisel, and Marta rise out of the ashes of extreme poverty to prosperity. Marta travels to Paris; Leisel stays at home and marries a young Nazi, while Heidi becomes a nanny in Poland. The American girls become more independent than they ever wanted. Rosie marries at 18, has a baby and then must say goodbye to her soul mate. Donna Jean will sing her way through Europe and the South Pacific in the USO. Josie joins the Army Nurse Corps and sees the ugliness of war in the field hospitals of North Africa and Italy. They all live in a world that had no future.
