Synopsis "one american dreamer (in English)"
One American Dreamer, a Biographical Novel based on the life and times of Iowa man Donald R. Tietz, effectively entwines the major portion of the twentieth century with the thoughts and feelings of a young country boy who grows into a very successful entrepreneur. Young Donny's mother struggles to give birth as we join the story, a heart grabbing read right from the beginning. We're given glimpses into the honorable thoughts and stalwart soul of Rudy Tietz, Donald's father, and sideways glances at the disturbed balance of his wife Clara, daughter of the enormous and rowdy Leininger clan. Some genetic magic between Rudy and Clara Tietz distilled into a young boy driven by a brilliant mind, one who could envision things that had never been done before, and tell himself he could do them. A little man, always striving to please the father that he loved to the depths of his being. A simple farmer's existence was not enough for young Donny; he dreamed of flying his own airplane very early in life, and accomplished that dream by the age of sixteen. At twenty, too young to carry a gun to defend his own life, Don became a Police Officer, first in Algona Iowa, and then in Tampa Florida. Courage, strength, accomplishment, daring, and success are all a huge part of the life of Donald R. Tietz, One American Dreamer. Accompanied by heartache and loss, enough to balance the scale of wealth and privilege. A man who seems to have won this human race, but a man who hurts inside his shy smile. A man to reflect his century as only a Dreamer can. Excitement and close calls, drama in real life, love and loss, they're all within the pages of One American Dreamer. Your whole family will enjoy the heart warming story of Donald R. Tietz.
