Guardians of the secret

Nimé my father called me. Karl Richter was on the birth certificate, but he hoped the name he learned from Indians in the Amazon would make me a child of the New World and a stranger to the tragedies of Europe. Like everyone, I was too brief a child, too long a stranger. A family crisis led to my being sent back to East Germany. I became a therapist, in part, to find a meaningful union of child and stranger, the Old World and the New.

Notes

Viewed from the perspective of ten years which have passed since I wrote the novel, some of the content was strikingly prophetic, from one of the major events of our time, to the campaign slogan of a Presidential candidate. Other elements such as the War on Drugs that loomed large and had for a time diminished in importance, are now back center stage.

What remains constant are the psychological insights that link to a heritage at least 40,000 years old and the struggle for America's identity.

I hope you enjoy the novel.
