| Arnoti
has another book-signing scheduled
Local author, former mayor and long-time resident of Cottonwood, Ladd C. Arnoti, will sign copies of his new book on Saturday, January 27, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., at The Gallery in Grangeville. Darkness of War, Dawn of Hope: The World War II Memoirs of a Young Man in Europe, is the gripping story of an incredible journey, a child's nearly overnight transition into adulthood, with no stops along the way for a normal adolescence. Caught in the chaos of World War II Hungary, the Russians closing in from one direction and the escape route blocked by hostile nearly-defeated Nazi troops, Ladd is involved in air raids, rescue operations, constant concern for his mother and brothers, all the while trying to continue his schooling. He finds a way to evacuate himself and his mother, but the trip is harrowing. There is a happy ending—emigration to Cottonwood, Idaho in 1950. |
