A Day Like Any Other (Love Intrudes, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

During the Vietnam War, a career naval officer from the other side of the tracks encounters an antiwar doctor from one of Beacon Hill's oldest and richest families-two opposite courses that collide over the divergent world views that inform their thoughts and actions. A tender story of love and redemption that will deeply touch you-one that far transcends enemies to lovers. The book closes on a couple changed by their love and shared danger, but also drawn closer with the conviction that each of them is better and stronger for the other, reflecting the need within each of us to be loved.

Biography

Our family has deep bonds with the sea. Henry Every (born in the Devonshire area of England around 1659) became Captain of the Fancy in 1694. Later, our family had ties to the Cunard Line and came to America from the Dutch West Indies. I grew up in Boston and attended Boston Latin High School. It was there I learned how to writenot the craft, but the lessons from which I drew that craft. Graduating from Tufts University, I reported to Attack Squadron 147 as ordnance officer, making combat deployments to Vietnam aboard the USS America and USS Constellation in 1970, 1971, and 1972. It was during this time I became a Christian. I married my wife, Patricia, in 1974, and we have two sons, both of whom have a deep-rooted affiliation with the sea.

In many ways, I consider myself privileged. As a young boy, I saw the end of the steam era, met men who could do things in the marine world with talent rather than equipment, and later, had the privilege of working with my uncle, the most well-versed man in the marine field I've had the privilege of meetingand more importantly, a man who lived in the world the way God wanted it to be, not the way it was.

It continually surprises me that I enjoy writing as much as I do. While I have always loved to read, I never envisioned myself as an author or anticipated the wild delight I take from writing. I can only hope you derive as much enjoyment from reading my work as I have in writing it. Thank you.
