    From early childhood on, daily life, dreams, and memories will ultimately lead each character through a lifetime of crossroads and decisions which in some cases destroy that character and in others reinforces the desire to live and survive the difficult and sometimes unbearable experiences of each character.An ultimate struggle between good and evil ……..At What Point Does One Finally Give Up? Long ago, even the idea of giving up had never been an option. The hopes and dreams at some moment became a figment of imagination. Not all at once but bit by bit, piece by piece, reality became clearer until at last you could not fool even yourself. You look into the mirror and see a stranger staring back at you. What has happened? Where has time gone? You are certainly nothing like the person you had imagined years ago. Time is working its inevitable changes. Suddenly you know the dream of yesterday is over. You can never go back again. Your heart feels cold. Cold as stone. Hard as stone. No longer pumping red-blooded excitement through your veins. A new kind of passion takes over. A cold-hearted driven passion that has been aching to come out. Any scrap of forgiveness has long gone. There is no forgiveness. No amount of begging, crying, or cajoling will change things now. She knows who is to blame. Unforgivable sins have been committed. The price must be paid. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Just how great must the sacrifice be in order to attain revenge? So much has been lost or stolen from her. Lives have been cut short. So much suffering has been endured. Some were still living through the pain. A very large sacrifice would be in order. A very large sacrifice indeed. A feeling of sweetness begins to flow into the brain. Ah, that sweetness she's been longing for. REVENGE, SWEET REVENGE

    I wrote this story for my two daughters in hopes that they can see what influenced my life and why I became the person I am, making the choices I did. Events and people sometimes beyond our control help mold and shape our character into who and what we are. The road we travel is not always straight, but how we get to the destination is a reflection of our true values.I grew up in an occupied war-torn country until I was almost 7 years old. You grow up fast when your life and freedom are severely curtailed. We speak openly of freedom and use the word indiscriminately when what we consider constraints, by an orderly and democratic society, which impedes our ideas or values we would like to impose on others to satisfy selfish, immature and so-called intellectual behavior.My life was shaped by war and the eventual peace and freedom given me by the sacrifices of thousands of men and women who had no idea that I existed, but never-the-less gave their lives so that others like myself could experience freedom.I knew at an early age that I would someday try to give a little back to the country which rescued me and my family and millions of others like us. I served that country both in war and peace.

    The Monk stone is a real stone laying along a trail above my village in Norway. The Monks in the late 1100-1200 AD used to carry stones from a quarry outside my village to a monastery they built there.My maternal grandfather was a farmer, fisherman, and miller who was also a great storyteller. It was he who first made us aware of the Monk stone. He would sit in his big rocking chair in our century old farm with several grandchildren sitting on the floor in front of him on cold snowy winter nights, spellbound waiting for the next words to come out of his mouth.Were all of the stories true? At the time when I was 5 or 6 years old sitting there listening, you bet they were true. -From the preface

    In the early 1960's, not many U.S. soldiers had been wounded in Vietnam and those who had been wounded were sent to military hospitals near their homes. In 1964, the war in Vietnam was starting to heat-up and soldiers with severe wounds were sent to military hospitals that had the expertise to treat them. One of the premier hospitals was Walter Reed Army General Hospital located outside Washington, D.C. This was also the hospital of choice for presidents, former presidents and other officials of the government..In Ward #1, there was a section at the far end of the ward which became known as "The Pit", later on "The Snake Pit." In 1965, there were seven officers, captains, lieutenants and warrant officers assigned to the "Pit". Although other officers were assigned to "The Pit" their stay and personalities did not linger; i.e., seriousness of wounds or did not fit the "Pit" norm. The officers mentioned in this story remained together for at least one year or more, resulting in a close comradeship, helping each other when times were tough both physically and mentally.
