Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

I would be very grateful to any and all Goodreaders who take the time to read and post a Goodreads review of my upcoming book, My Ailing Champion.

Book Description:
My Ailing Champion details the harsh environment of the Nazi occupation in Greece and the many obstacles the author faced to get an education in the post-WW II years. Family and community leaders opposed education. The author’s mother prevented him from reading books. It was with great difficulty that the author’s father was persuaded to allow the completion of secondary education. To secure free labor, the author’s father, over two years, promised his support for higher education but deceived the son. The sisters’ dowries were a significant impediment. Ultimately, the family beat up the author and tossed him into the streets hungry and penniless, robbing him of his education dream forever.
It was for America to throw a lifeline and enable the author to get an education, even a Ph.D. The author expresses his deep gratitude for a chance at the American Dream and bemoans the current state of America, his ailing champion. He casts a hopeful note stemming from America’s noble character and long-term aspirations, concluding that, far from being perfect, America is nevertheless the best country the world has ever known.

The release date for My Ailing Champion is June 1, 2024, and we are actively seeking honest and thoughtful reviews.
