This true story details the author´s escape from a small village in Communist Yugoslavia, and his subsequent journey in not only reaching the United States but in also making his American Dream become a reality. Despite what many would perceive as overwhelming obstacles, experiencing untold hardships, as well as real hunger and cold, Dr. Nick nevertheless never gave up on achieving his dream and never lost faith in his ability to overcome all odds with persistence and dedication to a goal. As the author reminisces back over this period in his life, he shares with us both the good and the bad times as he allows us to also experience in our imagination what it was like to grow up in a post-World War II, oppressive, Communist society; leap from a moving train into the dark night of uncertainty with the anticipation of freedom; and overcome the obstacles of obtaining what, still to this day, is an almost unimaginable dream for many people throughout the world. Dr. Nick first wrote this book as a reminder for his sons, and hopefully some day grandchildren, of their heritage. Only after much encouragement from his wife, has he also shared this story with us all. The story is told with warmth, humor, and most of all with the optimism that we each carry within ourselves what is needed to make our own hopes come true. It is the author´s hope that by sharing his own story, he may somehow help to encourage others to never give up on their dream.
