Left in the care of his loving grandparents, Yanni endures the deprivation and terror of the German occupation during World War II and finally leaves his beloved homeland and family to rejoin the parents who had left him behind to make a better life for themselves in America.

“With a touch of nostalgia and a lot of good humor, Appointment with Yesterday by Stratakis celebrates the passage of time as Yanni reflects back on his life and legacy, his heritage, and his choices and actions over the years. His story offers hope in the never-ending search for the ‘sweetness of life.’” ~ Foreword Clarion Reviews

“Appointment with Yesterday is a moving account of a young man’s coming of age and a well-crafted depiction of immigration, alienation, and triumphant assimilation.” ~ IndieReader
