About the Book

Spanning a period from World War I to 1960, a mother faces heartbreak from marriage, accidental deaths, terminal illnesses, and adoptions under duress. Through faith she finds the strength to fight back, and through courage she prevails to capture victory from tragedy.  This is a fictional tale inspired by real people, in a real rural America, in a time of depression and war.  It is the story of values and their impact on the lives of children starting out with two strikes against them.  It is about family, and why family is so important.


About the Author

The eighth child of a tenant farmer, he grew up in the settings depicted in this, his first novel.  He experienced the difficulties of poverty, and the loss of his mother at an early age.  He recognized the values she taught were the glue that held his family together, even after her death.  He served in the military, married, and became a C.P.A.  His wife of nearly fifty years has been legally blind since childhood, and they have raised three children. Their first son was adopted, and their youngest, a daughter, was born with Cerebral Palsy.  It was the strength that mothers exhibit in adverse situations that inspired this story, and he has dedicated the book to two of them.
