Book excerpt: Feed the Goose tells the colorful, fascinating story of an immigrant couple, Ludwig and Louisa Fischer, who leave Germany in the mid-1800s to find life in a free and peaceful country. As the Fischers begin their new life in Buffalo, New York, readers are soon drawn into the years leading up to World War II, including the devastating era of the Great Depression. Along the way love brings one of the Fischer children to Brookhaven, Mississippi where new adventures await. In a clear voice that issues vividly detailed descriptions of the times, author Kitzy Gayle writes with sensitivity and insight about the strong bonds of love and affection that sustained immigrant families as they became acclimated to their new and sometimes frightening cultural surroundings.
