I have traveled all over United States and met a lot of people in fifty years who have given their take on events to cause the things that are occurring now. I am a graduate of the school of hard knocks, also a four-year university. I have come to understand that our country started down that road of violence, death, and destruction during that horrible war in Vietnam, in which I lost a lot of friends. The violence, death, and destruction exploded in our country''s cities after the deaths of Dr. King and Robert Kennedy, two men of peace who wanted to stop the war, killings, and violence. In my book, I attempt to give an idea of the effect that the continuing war on cities is having on us left here in the inner cities. And is now beginning to spread to the schools, suburbs, and towns throughout America. The innocents are the ones getting caught up and who now are saying enough is enough.
The tale begins during the Vietnam War with Uncle Sam drafting so many very young men into the military right after high school. My main character's only desire is to marry his high school sweetheart and raise a family. Enters the war completely disrupting his life like so many countless other young men. The 1960's offered its own problems with the civil rights movement throughout the south, student protest on college campuses, along with more conflicts happening in the U.S. cities than any other time since the Civil War. The story takes us on a path of uncertainty in lives that become a part of this roller coaster ride through thirty years of a host of personally loves, loss, dramas, tragedies, triumphs, and many life lessons. It tells about every-day people and the impact the times has on their lives, that will unexpectedly follow those involved. It points out the killing or murder of love and innocence. Followed by the birth of violence, death, and destruction that enters into our whole society continuing to this very day.
