About the Book

Greg Wilson would argue that broken branches could break minds and futures, and with some authority. But most things in life, even if broken by trees, can be repaired and occasionally improved upon; sometimes, even people can fit that mold.

Once he gains the experience – through his own emotional disintegration – he becomes the focal point of amazing transformations. His mature caring allows him to help others, and in very unusual manner. His growth is slow and sometimes seemingly contradictory, from teacher and mentor to ranch-hand to sheepherder, and finally, back to teacher and mentor. Even in his darkest hours, he’s storing and accumulating what’s he learned. But in his brightest hours, he can cure broken minds and hearts with his inspirational strengths. It’s in the latter persona that he draws a cluster of the most remarkable people – each with their own story, their own contribution.

And then there’s the hauntingly chilling end of the story and "the voice." Those present then reach beyond any destination or experience any of them have ever visited with perhaps the exception of one – the Navajo princess.

 


About the Author

I live in Livermore, California. My wife and I share our children-vacated home with Sam, a German Shorthair/Labrador mix that we rescued from the animal shelter. Sam thinks he owns us – a strong possibility – and generously let’s us live at his house.

Aside from writing, my wife and I both enjoy tent camping in the Sierra Nevada and travel – especially by rail. We also enjoy visits to our grandchildren, Cameron and Anna Kathleen, who live in Oregon.

This is my third published novel. The first, Broken Minds & Broken Hearts was published in February 2000. The second, Jack of All Trades came out in October 2000.
