Produktbeschreibung
When Eagles Soared is a work of fiction - the story is adapted from, inspired by, and based on the author's best recollection of actual events. When Lou Surber Osborne, a rookie teacher and coach, is hired to coach an elementary football team with a losing history, he quickly realizes the challenges that lie ahead of him to make them winners. While defying all the obstacles and challenges facing him, seventeen seventh and eighth-grade boys bought into a winning philosophy to become the best they could be, win or lose. In telling this story, for those of you that are baby-boomers, I hope to transport you back to 1970-71 when life was simple and innocent in so many ways, yet challenging and tense in navigating the turbulent times brought on by the Vietnam War. It had an enormous effect on young men of military draft age, and their families and friends, in one way or the other until the war ended. Rock-and-roll groups and their songs during the Vietnam War era were a statement of defiance but also hope for a better future. As you come across them in the book, I hope the songs take you back in time, remembering the good times you experienced with that special someone.

Autorenporträt
Author Nick Lewis lives in Richmond, Kentucky with his wife, Bonnie. They will celebrate forty-nine years of marriage in May 2021. After graduating from Marshall University in the fall of 1970, his chosen career path didn't work out. Although he taught school and coached football for one year in Boyd County, Kentucky, that door closed, and another one opened, the newspaper business. After forty years at five different newspapers in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, he retired in June 2013. For the last nine years of his newspaper career, he was publisher of the Richmond Register in Richmond, Kentucky. It was there that his love for writing was born and cultivated. After penning hundreds of commentary for the newspaper, he sat down one day in January 2014 and started writing a series titled, The Detective Carla McBride Chronicles. After a long five years, the first three books were finally completed. When he is not writing and revising manuscripts, he enjoys golf, gardening, and creating new chapters of his life with Bonnie. An avid Marshall University football fan, he attends all home games in Huntington, West Virginia. He has three grown children, and three grandchildren.
