Cookstown, New Jersey, USA – WEBWIRE – Friday, October 10, 2025

The Reading Glass Books is pleased to host the official launch of author Mary Ann Dratch’s newest book at Stand #6.0 E15 at this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair on Friday, October 17, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

In “A Journey Through Time,” Dratch draws from her personal experiences and her deep connection to Italy to tell the story of Gina MacLeary, a young woman uncovering her family history through her mother’s journals. With insight and authenticity, Dratch portrays the trials and triumphs of an Italian family navigating the challenges of World War II, offering readers a compelling perspective on courage and perseverance.

Readers will follow Gina as she discovers the hardships her ancestors endured, including the struggle to protect a family escaping the Jewish ghetto and the journey to a new life in America. The narrative combines historical detail with personal reflection, giving readers an intimate glimpse of the human spirit in times of adversity.

In this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair through the exhibit of The Reading Glass Books, attendees who cherish meaningful storytelling will have the opportunity to explore this story that celebrates courage, family, and the enduring strength of the human heart.
