Four Blue Stars in the Window by Barbara Eymann Mohrman

And you are planning to fly far far away, to pursue your future and fulfill your dreams. Perhaps we will not meet each other any more if without fate and luck.

So tonight, I was wandering around your dormitory building hoping to meet you there by chance. But contradictorily, your appearance must quicken my heartbeat and my clumsy tongue might be not able to belch out a word. I cannot remember how many times I have passed your dormitory building both in Zhuhai and Guangzhou, and each time aspired to see you appear in the balcony or your silhouette that cast on the window. I cannot remember how many times this idea comes to my mind: But each time, thinking of your excellence and my commonness, the predominance of timidity over courage drove me leave silently.

Graduation, means the end of life in university, the end of these glorious, romantic years. Your lovely smile which is my original incentive to work hard and this unrequited love will be both sealed as a memory in the deep of my heart and my mind. Graduation, also means a start of new life, a footprint on the way to bright prospect.

I truly hope you will be happy everyday abroad and everything goes well. Meanwhile, I will try to get out from puerility and become more sophisticated.

Night Time Lapse of the stars from a plane window (SYD-LAX on American Airlines)

To pursue my own love and happiness here in reality will be my ideal I never desert. If someday, somewhere, we have a chance to gather, even as gray-haired man and woman, at that time, I hope we can be good friends to share this memory proudly to relight the youthful and joyful emotions. If this chance never comes, I wish I were the stars in the sky and twinkling in your window, to bless you far away, as friends, to accompany you every night, sharing the sweet dreams or going through the nightmares together.

Here comes the problem: Assume the sky is a flat plane. All the stars lie on it with a location x, y. The window is a rectangle whose edges are parallel to the x-axis or y-axis.

Turns out that this family is a branch from my Eymann tree; Chriss Eymann, the patriarch of the Four Blue Stars, was the brother of my great-grandmother, Bertha Eymann Stern. Although this is ultimately a book about four brothers serving in World War II, I found the parts about their life growing up in Oakdale, Nebraska as well as the truth about Chriss I was poking around the Internet one night, researching family history, looking for Eymann hints, and I was astonished to come across this book.

Although this is ultimately a book about four brothers serving in World War II, I found the parts about their life growing up in Oakdale, Nebraska as well as the truth about Chriss to be the most interesting. I felt the book was well-researched in regards to the war I would have much rather read more first-hand accounts from the brothers. I feel that's where Mohrman's writing really shines. My Eymann family and Mohrman's Eymann family split off in different directions nearly years ago, after coming to Nebraska from Switzerland around the turn of the century.

Some Eymanns stayed in Oakdale, some even returned to Europe. My Eymanns moved to Omaha to work in the packing plants. My great-grandmother hated living in America. She refused to speak English. From all accounts, she spent most of her time in her room, only emerging to cook meals. She was most likely clinically depressed, but that diagnosis was only acted upon in the most severe circumstances in her time.

So it was not a surprise to find out about Chriss.

It made me sad that his family refused to even speak his name. But it was oddly reassuring?

Excellent,highly recommended Totally enjoyed the book! Obviously a family with deep commitments to each other as well as love. Their parents did a wonderful job raising them and instilling strong values in each of them. I am familiar with that area of Nebraska and I must say that children are still brought there with these values.

Good,honest hard-working people who care about their country,their community and each other. As to what happened to Chriss I feel he probably had a medical issue that p Excellent,highly recommended Totally enjoyed the book!

As to what happened to Chriss I feel he probably had a medical issue that probably would be recognized today but not known at that time. Apr 12, Marilyn rated it really liked it. This is the story of an immigrant family who came to Nebraska from Europe. They live on the edge of a farm where the father works. They suffer through the dust bowl,the grasshoppers and the Great Depression. Then comes World War Two.

Four of the boys go off to war. This book is interesting but more so since my husband lived in Oakdale, their home town. Feb 26, Judy rated it really liked it Shelves: I won a signed copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway. The author, Barbara Eymann Mohrman, turned her family's history into a book that is fascinating to read and reads like a novel. Her aunts and uncles and grandparents are true characters to readers outside of their family.

Eymann did a lot of research and it shows throughout the book. I found that I really couldn't put this down as I had to find I won a signed copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway. I found that I really couldn't put this down as I had to find out what happened to the 4 sons who went to war.

I also kept thinking about who the author's parents were - and I'm so glad she added that information at the end of the book. The one thing I am left curious about is whether or not Ton could have opted out of his draft notice as he would have been the remaining 'farmhand' son left to help his father Mick was quite younger at the time. I will be doing some further research into that subject. I feel like the Eymann family is a great example of down-home Midwestern values and I certainly feel proud that they were representing America; and still are.

Oct 13, Mary rated it it was ok. Author granddaughter did good job constructing a story. I heard about this book thru a P. I was disappointed at the swearing, and disappointed with some of the brother's choices in marriage. However, it was educational to be part of the tragedy and hardships that WWII families went thru.
