Georgetown, KY, March 01, 2023 –(
CarryOnHarry.com)– John Paugstat earned degrees from the Universities of California and Cincinnati and holds five patents. He has completed his new book, “Der Kleine Lump: The Little Rascal.” This fascinating book contains a series of true stories that center on a young boy who, despite his humble upbringing, enjoys adventure and excitement even in the mundane realities of life.
“Der Kliene Lump” contains true anecdotes about the winsome ways of a boy who experienced rare freedoms and “extravagances” in a harsh era defined by The Great Depression and World War II. The boy’s family of seven was unique in heritage, faith, lifestyle, character, and appearance. Less than an acre of land, a primitive house, an outhouse, and five dinky buildings, which sheltered a menagerie of animals, defined their habitat. His mother wore a prayer covering and plain dress that belied her fiery temperament. She referred to her son as “Der Kleine Lump” (The Little Rascal; at times, The Scoundrel).
Paugstat writes: “When I viewed the anecdotes as a composite picture, I saw a boy who, when nurtured by faith, family, and society, rose above the Woes of Poverty and enjoyed the Wows of Privilege and Adventure. I would like to have been that boy, and so I was—resulting in anecdotes true to the limits of my memory.”
Published by Page Publishing, John Paugstat’s enthralling true life adventures bring to life a bygone era of America, transporting readers back in time to discover the wonders of life through the naive and innocent eyes of a young, adventurous boy. Expertly paced and deeply personal, Paugstat weaves a heartfelt plot, inviting readers to follow along and discover how one can, as the author states, “find the ‘peach’ when life is ‘lemon tart.’”
