Misfortune and rejection shadowed Eddie Brooks in his early years. His birth parents were swept away in the unruly Susquehanna River during an ice storm that paralyzed Stonington, Pennsylvania, in the winter of 1953. After a brief stay in a distant orphanage, Eddie was placed in a dysfunctional foster care arrangement with a childless couple back in Stonington, but the foster plan imploded after a neighborhood tragedy that took the life of Eddie's pal. Ostracized by his community and rescued by a family in Chestnut Ridge, a town far in the distance on the other side of the wide river, Eddie grew and blossomed, but there were still unsettled issues to confront in Stonington. As a young adult, Eddie finally returned to face his demons, and along the way, he discovered the otherworldly assistance that had been at his beck and call all along.
By first-time author, Frederick Giel, the book is an emotional rollercoaster, having twists and turns that will leave the reader breathless. With its colorful characters, infectious humor, and constant tug at heartstrings, readers will enjoy the ride!
