HBL Note: Cathy A. Lewis is a classically trained chef, attended the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, and worked as a private chef for celebrities including Naomi, Wynonna, and Ashley Judd. In 1984 she became the first female Executive Chef for a hotel company, serving the likes of The Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers and 76’ers. So needless to say, she has stories to tell. But it wasn’t until she found an old red journal hidden away inside a tattered suitcase once belonging to her father, that she found the story she wanted to tell.
THE ROAD WE TOOK by Cathy A. Lewis is inspired by the journal her father kept during the 1930s as Hitler rose to power. “One particular entry detailed his relationship to a young boy scout who was a follower of Hitler. He described the boy as a ‘fine fellow’. Little did he know what that ‘fine fellow’ was capable of, and that men like him would be responsible for the murder of millions.” Scroll down to read more.

From the publisher:
Author Cathy A. Lewis discovered a tattered leather suitcase containing her deceased father's journal documenting his six-week trek through Europe in 1933 while on his way to the 4th Boy Scout World Jamboree.
Inspired by her father's historical recount, The Road We Took is the four-day epic tale of a desperate group of Jewish citizens attempting to escape Nazi-occupied Germany.
Fascinating characters come together in a narrative of extreme courage, budding adolescent love, and their fight for survival.
Life in Germany will never be the same as Hitler and the Nazis advance their propaganda campaign, to systematically murder the Jewish population.
And this was only the beginning.
