Item description from seller

Paperback. What drives a young man to leave everything behind and chase the unknown?In 1937, John Boock was a boy from Depression-era Minnesota with barely a hundred dollars to his name and an unshakable hunger to see the world. While his peers settled into predictable lives, John bought a one-way ticket to adventure, hitchhiking across America, working his passage across the Atlantic on a freighter, and cycling through a Europe on the brink of war. From the pastoral beauty of the English countryside to the chilling realities of Nazi Germany, from Mark Twain's "most charming place" in Switzerland to becoming the self-proclaimed "Roman Dumpster King" after being robbed and jailed in Italy, John's journey was anything but ordinary. When his money ran out and all seemed lost, he made the desperate decision to stow away on a luxury liner, launching a chain of events that would test every ounce of courage he possessed. But the greatest adventure was still to come. A chance meeting in wartime Washington would introduce him to Peggy, a spirited Texas girl, sparking a love story that would span seven seas and fifty-seven years of marriage. Heed the Call is more than a memoir of wanderlust and war-it's a testament to the generation that crossed oceans, faced down tyranny, and built lives of quiet dignity in the aftermath. Told with warmth, wit, and unflinching honesty, this is the story of one man's extraordinary journey and the steadfast love that became his true north. For readers who cherish stories of adventure, fortitude, and the kind of love that endures across a lifetime, this is a journey you won't want to miss. This item is printed on demand.
