A young boy. A military family. A world far from home. Step into the shoes of Bernard N. Lee, Jr., a wide-eyed military kid in the 1950s, as he embarks on a journey that will shape the rest of his life-his family's first overseas tour in post-war Germany. In this second volume of A Look Back in Time, Vol. II 2nd Ed., Lee invites readers to relive his experiences growing up in a country still healing from the scars of war, while he navigates the challenges and joys of adolescence. Can you remember what it felt like to walk along railroad tracks as a kid, dreaming of far-off places and new adventures? For Bernard, those tracks led across the Atlantic to Ansbach, Germany-and to unforgettable moments that would stay with him forever. Of all his father's Army assignments-from the hills of Georgia to the plains of Oklahoma-none compared to the family's time stationed in Europe. In these pages, Bernard reflects on that pivotal chapter with warmth, honesty, and humor. Join Bernard on a journey full of adventure, mishaps, and growing pains, including: Laugh-out-loud lessons -like the unexpected hangover from a shared bottle of wine at lunch with the locals. Humbling moments -like taking a punch you didn't see coming in a school boxing match. Thrilling encounters -like facing off with an ice-skating gang on your very first day at the pond. Unforgettable nights -like jamming with local musicians in the glow of youthful freedom. Worrisome holidays -like praying for Dad's safe return from a top-secret mission before Thanksgiving. Tender young love -like the scent of flowers during a walk in the garden with a girl who spoke no English, yet said everything with her eyes. Whether you're a military brat, veteran, history lover, or simply someone who remembers the awkward beauty of coming of age in a changing world, A Look Back in Time, Vol. II 2nd Ed., will capture your imagination and stir your soul. Travel back in time. Feel every moment. And maybe, rediscover a piece of your own story along the way.
