SHADOWS FIREFLIES Shares Man's Coming-of-Age Post WW2

Tenny Wilson returns to the world of literature with the release of her second novel, "Shadows and Fireflies" (published by Xlibris). This new book seamlessly blends history and fiction to recreate the turmoil of the Second World War and its effects on the life of a young man grappling with his sense of identity.

"Shadows and Fireflies" is centered on Thomas Pesche, a young man born in a German enclave in Mexico where he lived with his family until the age of 17. Growing up, he endures a love-hate relationship with his cantankerous grandfather, Wilhelm Pesche, an ex Nazi Youth director. Over time, Thom senses that he is being left out of many family secrets. Through his journey into manhood, he struggles to find his own identity and attempts to learn the truth about his family.

Filled with unexpected twists and turns, "Shadows & Fireflies," follows Thom's long journey-from his involvement with the Nazis, through his struggles with family deception, and finally on his quest for the ultimate truth. It is a brilliantly orchestrated tale of survival, self-discovery and redemption set in the midst of global upheaval.
