Home. For over three hundred years, that's what the Hamilton family has called a shrinking swath of farmland in the Appalachian foothills of South Carolina. Home. That's the failing tobacco farm where Walter and Maggie Hamilton choose to raise their three children. Walter has big plans to make the farm more profitable, but his plans are interrupted by World War II and family heartbreak. Walter returns from the war a changed man and finds Maggie, too, has changed, neither of them for the better. But at least their family is together again at... Home. More than anything, that's where their eight-year-old son, Jimmy Hamilton, wants to be. However, after an unspeakable tragedy, he's sent away from the only life he's ever known to live with a kindly uncle in North Carolina. Home. That's where Jimmy is finally going to be, unless fate has plans of its own... A Song that Never Ends is the first installment of the Hamilton Place series, an epic family saga extending from the Great Depression to present day. Through war and peace, love and loss, triumph and tragedy, follow the Hamilton family on their journey from a run-down farm in South Carolina, through the jungles of Vietnam, to the top of the world in New York City, and beyond the gardens of stone at Arlington.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Mark A. Gibson is a physician who practices Cardiology in the mountains of rural North Georgia. He was raised on a small farm in upstate South Carolina-the last postage-stamp sized sliver of a much larger parcel granted to the family by land grant from Charles II in 1665-and may or may not have once gotten in trouble for digging up his mom's calla lily bed in search of the family's long-lost charter. Dr. Gibson graduated from the Citadel in Charleston, SC with a BS in Biology. Afterwards, he received his medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia, SC. He received his Internal Medicine training through the University of Tennessee Medical System and Cardiology training through the Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center. He served for eight years on active duty with the US Air Force, before leaving the military for private practice. Although a cardiologist by profession, Dr. Gibson is a dreamer by nature. He is a self-styled oenophile who enjoys travel and fine food. In his spare time, he builds sandcastles and dreams of distant shores.The Hamilton Place series represents Dr. Gibson's first foray into the world of fiction. He's also written a book of short stories, "The Cigar Box," and a tongue-in-cheek diet book, "The Chocolate Cake Diet." Otherwise, all previous publications have been of the professional, peer-reviewed medical variety, and make for lovely sleep aids.
