Local author David Wessel will present his debut novel "Choosing Sides" set in pre-war Nazi Germany. Wessel brought historical research, his professional European diplomatic experience, and his own family history together to tell the story of a man caught between loyalty to his German homeland and his new home in America. Questions and answers will follow after the talk.
