The author returns to his homeland to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Hungary's freedom. The author relives the days of the revolution and recounts the story of Gusztav and Julianna Batizy's heart-stopping capture and escape from Communist Hungary not alone but with eleven children in tow and a dream. Only a "mad Hungarian" would attempt such an insane endeavor. But Gusztav was not content to simply arrive in America. He was fiercely determined that every child would become a living example of the American dream . Your fear will give way to wonder as you follow this family through several generations.
