Trudy Cutrone

Trudy Cutrone, born in Czechoslovakia, fled to Austria at the end of the war at age eleven.  Much of Karl's Story is based on her own experience.  She emigrated from Salzburg to the US as the bride of a Naval Officer and raised five children while earning degrees in English Writing and German Literature at the University of Pittsburgh. 

Besides writing, her first love, she likes to travel, garden and cook.  Country Road Press, now part of McGraw Hill, published her cookbook, Recipes of a New England Inn.  She lives with her husband in Northwest Florida.
