Published in June of this year. Author Otto Ernst says, on Amazon, "It was a special day for me when I received notification that 'Eleven Days of Wonder' had been published. Originally, the story had a different title and was supposed to describe a struggle to prevent a corporate takeover. The reader may still detect remnants of this early false start. However, the struggles one deals with at an age of ninety are enough to yearn for an easier life. That's why the fictional characters in this book allowed me to tell a story that could be true but may at times seem to be more like a fairy tale."

Neither the book nor the author show up on the FictionDataBase.

Thanks for sharing, though. Someone else may want to find and read it.
