As World War I rages on, Carl finds himself caught in the middle of the conflict. His father, a proud German immigrant, is a staunch supporter of the Kaiser and encourages Carl to join the German army. However, Carl's mother and his American-born girlfriend, Ruth, urge him to stay loyal to his adopted country and fight for the Allies.The novel explores themes of patriotism, loyalty, and identity as Carl struggles to reconcile his German roots with his American identity. As the war comes to a close, Carl must make a decision that will determine his future and his place in the world.Overall, The Son Decides is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of German-Americans during World War I.
