Produktbeschreibung
Love Was Not Lost is a story which places the central fictional characters into turbulent historical events. It is told by a father to his daughter in an attempt to salvage their relationship. The narrative blends their present day interaction with their family's history in an effort to understand who they have become. From Germany to Guatemala, America to Cuba the story of the Stern family and those whom they loved spans over a century. It is set in the historical backdrop of the birth and rise in power of the United Fruit Company and the CIA backed overthrow of the Guatemala government. The characters are caught up in a vast and international drama which begins with the birth of Guatemala's banana and coffee industries and extends to the genocide of nearly 200,000 native people. Although the lives in each generation seem to be determined by choice and chance, the unseen hand of God is at work weaving them into a rich tapestry.
Autorenporträt
I am a 67-year-old retiree who had a lot of time on his hands. Some six years ago I challenged myself to study the most difficult subject that came to mind. Little did I know then that it would lead to this little book. I live in the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains near a town called Golden, British Columbia, in a small village called Donald Station. I have always been curious about the natural world, and have spent a lot of time observing nature, and its denizens. It is my hope that this book will give the general public some idea that the universe and how it functions is not beyond their understanding and that with an understanding of the basics, it can open up a new topic of discussion among friends and colleagues, one that was once thought to be too complex, and best left to the professionals. I hope that you will enjoy reading this book, as much as I liked writing it, and remember knowledge is the keystone to self advancement.
