The Other Sister is American story that is a tribute to Hungarian immigrant women and their families, who arrived in America during the early 20th century. At 478 print pages, the ebook is a more affordable alternative. The novel can now be purchased as a print or ebook on Amazon.
The Other Sister is a passionate, startling and, wonderfully readable novel about generations of an immigrant family during the first half of the twentieth century. Its momentum shimmers with the presence and evanescence of life’s everyday and extraordinary moments. While Patricia Valdata illuminates the ways that history affects individual lives, the real star of the story is the individual. Brimming with unforgettable characters, The Other Sister is to be treasured.

The PBS National Memorial Day Concert performed “Vietnam Valor and
Brotherhood”, the story of two soldiers — Brad Kennedy and Ernest “Pete”
Peterson — who formed a brotherhood while serving in the 11th US Cavalry in
Vietnam, a.k.a. the Blackhorse Regiment. The two now meet each year at the
Vietnam Wall to remember those who died.
One of the soldiers, Plain View Press author Brad Kennedy, published
Betrayal: Will Stone in Vietnam (2012). A literary fiction novel, Betrayal examines
honor and loyalty — personal, social, military, and political. The story raises
questions of American foreign policy and military strategy, and goes deeper to
ask, “What price must a man pay to remain moral? Are we all brothers? What is
worth dying for?”
“Vietnam Valor and Brotherhood” was performed by actor Dennis
Haysbert (24, MAJOR LEAGUE) as Pete Peterson, and Joe Mantegna as Brad Kennedy.
Hosted by Tony Award-winner Joe Mantegna and Emmy Award-winner Gary Sinise, the
30th annual National Memorial Day Concert was broadcast Sunday, May 26, 2019, and
is available as Video on Demand, May 26 to June 9, 2019.

Originally published in 2009 as a hardback book, this compelling historical memoir of a holocaust survivor is now available in paperback and ebook formats.
Months after World War II officially ends, a 15-year-old boy still hides in a potato field. The horror of the Holocaust is followed by the horror of survival. The question “Why me?” haunts survivors for the rest of our lives. For some of us, life is only possible under the anesthesia of silence. After 63 years, Leon Rubinstein has broken his silence with this book. As I Am Presently Known is a remarkable story of life’s victory over death and about one generation passing the torch to another.
