This novel relates the story of a career Coast Guardsman whose life was traumatized by the cruel drowning of a small girl when his patrol boat responded to a desperate call for help in the North Atlantic. He failed to grasp her hand just as she slipped into the deep, dark Atlantic. He felt responsible for her loss and was burdened by memories of her final moments before the cruel, unforgiving Atlantic claimed another victim. This is Alvin's story of courage and dedication as he searched for meaning to his life. His journey from despair to a more meaningful existence began after he returned to civilian life and established a private business as a bush pilot in the northern New England and Canadian wilderness. His unbelievable ordeal began when he flew a group of people to an isolated location in the North Woods of Maine. The expedition changed his life...
This is the story of Nathan Collins, a career Coast Guardsman who saw duty all around the world during World War Two and in Korea. He was severely wounded in action three times and retired from the service when he lost an arm in Korea. Eventually, he studied to be a forester. Throughout his military career, his love for a female physician became an emotional obsession that time slowly erased.
REMEMBERING... The story of Joel Thorn an American soldier who fought his country's enemies with distinction, and found it difficult to determine his rightful place in society. His transition from a combat leader to an ordinary citizen was awkward, and like most combat veterans, challenging. Making that adjustment with one arm missing and the fact that he had fallen in love with two women at the same time was a cruel dilemma. His hopes and dreams for the future were shattered by the simple fact that his choice would be brutally hurtful to the one who lost. Ultimately his choice would be dictated by events beyond his ability to control. It is a moving account of courage, sacrifice, devotion to duty, and a love story the reader will enjoy and long remember.
