Ursula’s Underground World
It's August 1961 and Ursula, Wolfgang, Ruth and Renata stand gazing across
the barrier being erected between West and East Berlin. The forsaken
children are young adults and their world is about to change dramatically as
the Cold War rages between the east and the west. This novel continues the
Billy Love Wolf series which chronicles the lives of Billy Love, Katerina,
Elisabetha and Eva Braun, navigating their German and American heritages
About the author...
Jean Wolf Logan grew up in a small town in Iowa, where she experienced a
childhood filled with adventures. She made a yearly trek to Okoboji, where
she stayed in a cottage with her grandparents, and cavorted with some of her
"Wolf" cousins. Her parents, grandparents, and cousins' personalities and
quirks influenced some of the characters in her novels.
Her grandfather was a column writer for a small publication in Lytton, Iowa.
He was a prolific story teller, frequently gathering the grandchildren around
him, spinning tales of his life.
The story lines in her books were prompted by the author's research into her
German roots. She discovered many generations of Wolfs lived in Darmstadt,
prior to her great-great grandfather immigrating to the United States.
Jean has a Master of Arts in Nursing from the University of Iowa, and a Ph.D.
In Higher Education from Iowa State University. She spent over 30 years as a
nurse educator at Grand View University, where she used storytelling to teach
the art of nursing practice. Ursula's Underground World is the fourth book in
the Billy Love Wolf series.
