Praise for Back in the D.D.R

From the Patch...

Chicago Author Catapults Readers 

to Another Time and Place with "Back in the D.D.R."



Calling All Time Travelers! Want to Experience Another Time and Place? Back in the D.D.R. was Written Just for YOU! 

By K.P. Lynne 

Just in time for the holidays, veteran author and media personality, Rick Kaempfer has published an intriguing new novel, called Back in the D.D.R., jam-packed to the very edges of the pages, with suspenseful twists and turns, in far-off places, as the story takes flight, and catapults the reader on the journey of a lifetime.

Rick Kaempfer is a prolific and accomplished best-selling author, whose unique outlook on life, paired with extraordinary life experiences, has given him a knack for writing whimsical literary creations, eloquently combining intrigue, suspense, smiles, laughter, fears, tears and every emotion in between. His highly polished, yet refreshingly conversational, writing style snatches the reader out of their seat and draws the reader directly into the pages of his works.

“My new novel Back in the D.D.R. takes place in 1976 in seven different countries. One of them is Austria, with stops in Mondsee, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Grieskirchen, and Vienna.”, said Rick Kaempfer.

Back in the D.D.R. is a rare gem reflecting upon a strange time in our existence...you MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!

“Back in the D.D.R is a double fish out of water tale. The year is 1976. 12-year-old Rudi has had a really difficult time fitting into his family’s adopted home of America, but just when he feels like he is becoming Americanized, his family moves back to West Germany.”, said Kaempfer. “Rudi tries to navigate American Army bases, German and Austrian relatives he has never met, Cold War political tension and violence he doesn’t fully understand. His unusual journey culminates in a visit to the other side of the Iron Curtain, where Rudi is forced to confront the real reasons his family has taken him on such a bumpy ride.”

The critics are raving over this breathtaking trip...

“In Back in the D.D.R. author Rick Kaempfer takes us on what on the surface is a family trip from Chicago back to his German homeland. Its what’s between the lines that gives the reader an uneasy feeling that there is a lot more going on here than meets the eye. Guess what. There is. The Berlin wall. Communist East Germany. I can say no more. A great page turning read.” - John Landecker, WGN Radio

“Rick Kaempfer weaves a fascinating tale that jerks you back and forth between funny and scary. Having been to all of the places Rick describes, I felt like a 13-year-old reliving it. I even found myself mumbling a lot of the dialogue in German. A great read.” ~Jim Baumann, Executive Editor of the Daily Herald and author of Grammar Moses.
