Legend of the Big Rock
|
The author learned the tragedies
of war on the home front when two of his friends married young men who
went off to war but did not return. Now, remembering the heartbroken widows
and the children who would never know their fathers, he has rewoven the
warp and weft of life's fortunes into a tapestry more pleasant to look
upon. On their high-school graduation day, Ellen meets Linda's cousin,
Paul, a decorated World War II Navy fighter pilot. In less than a month
they are married. And then the misfortune of war that nearly destroys
Ellen's happiness brings Linda face-to-face with Philip, a promising young
medical student who sweeps her off her feet and right into his heart.
Two girls as talented as they are beautiful, a war that threatens to doom
them both to a lifetime of sorrow, and two young men with uncommon skills
for survival are blended together in a down-to-earth, lighthearted
story that will tug at your heart, make you laugh, and perhaps make you
believe the legend of the big rock.
