Produktbeschreibung

Frank Trask, a lobsterman who is approached by siblings Alan Townsley and Marjorie French, transports the pair to Cross Island where they search for their mother's grave. They wish to explain the lives of their parents, Vernon and Bernie Townsley. Trask is intrigued by Alan's memories, as they don't ring true and present contradictions. And the utterances of One-eyed Bennie, a local character, confound.

Vernon Townsley and Bernice Jennings were from disparate origins--she the long child of a well-to-do Boston Brahmin--he the son of a Kansas farmer. A graduate of Emerson, she teaches in Augusta, Maine. He seeks to pursue studies at Johns Hopkins but fails to qualify. He works the Baltimore docks and joins the Army. Wounded in France, he meets Bernie at the Togus Military Hospital. Romance is ignited, and then extinguished by anger, followed by Vernon's search for his first love. They meet aqain on Cross Island, marry, sire a family, and endure tragedy.

Trask's search resolves the questions. The spirit of Bernie Townsley, aboard the ghost horse Thunder, guides the children to the grave, where their parents are left in Eternity's Embrace.

Autorenporträt

Ken Lord is a born-again Christian, an octogenarian, a husband to Mary, and a father to Timothy. He's retired, as you might imagine, and spends his spare time writingfor himself and others (it's called ghostwriting).

He's a USAF veteran who has served in Japan and has been in every state in these United States. Also Australia, Mexico, and Canada. He traveled around the Pacific as a serviceman and later as a computer systems consultant.

He spent years of involvement with computers and is the author of a landmark series about microcomputers which, when they were needed, were spot-on but today are a part of ancient history.

He was an instructor for the Air Force and in various businesses. He was an adjunct professor for several colleges, most recently the Oregon Institute of Technology.

He holds:

ABA (Data Processing) and BSBA (Business) degrees from U-Mass, Lowell.

EdM (Education) from Oregon State University, Corvallis.

Doctoral credits from the University of Arizona, Tucson.

He spent 17 years as a very successful Avon representative ("The cutest Avon "lady" in Tucson, Arizona") where he built a very large business. On his website (www.kenlordbooks.com) you'll find books that he's written about that, too.

Today, in the twilight of his life, he plays the piano and sings at a Baptist church in Whiteville, NC, spends parts of three days a week in dialysis, and writes to legacy.
