Publisher's Synopsis
A CAPTIVATING STORY OF REDEMPTION
Squadrons of planes in mock battle soared over their shared bed years before WWII opened a window of opportunity to become actual flyers. Formative years, laced with Boy Scout honor codes and lessons on duty and honor, prepared them for the ultimate sacrifice.
Their mother staggered under the double-death burden without comfort from a husband lost in the firm grasp of "demon rum" as well as an impatient daughter's lethal tongue. Comfort is sought with her Band of Gold Star Mothers.
Rivers of tears mingle with memories of strife torn Ireland before she and wee babe Robert escape to the "Land of Milk and Honey with streets paved in Gold." Reality was jumping from the frying pan of strife in Ireland into the fire of a massive Depression in the U.S.A.
A teenage daughters' youthful brash to "move on" is thoughtlessly aimed at her grieving mother. In time those misguided missiles become fuel of her own guilt.
Guilt weighs heavily after maturity overcomes juvenile run-of-mouth.Never too late to right a wrong vindication is sought through dedication of a Memorial Totem Pole for two brothers lost years ago.How she lays it and her burden of guilt to rest will open hearts to the healing power of redemption.
