Overview
Hidden beneath the cold, damp farmland of Michigan lies an incredible, heartwarming family saga of sacrifice and heroism waiting to be unearthed. The masterfully crafted, fast paced story comes to life through the lives of three brothers as they experience the joy and hardship of growing up in an evolving, rural town during the turbulent events of the mid 1900s. They must fight for what they believe in and eventually find the truth about their family legacy.
The young brothers, Paul, Gustav and Steven live in harmony until their love for the same woman, deception, jealousy, and tragedy shatter their trust in each other. Two of the brothers seek out their own unique paths in life leaving Steven behind. After the brothers separate, Steven unexpectedly discovers his grandfather's awards and scars from WW1 that were locked away and forgotten in his grandmother's musty, hope chest. When the brothers are reunited by an unexpected event that finally exposes the shocking truth to a long held secret, it is unclear if the peace that follows redemption will bind the young men together again, or will greed tear the family in two? These events imaginatively transport the reader back in time to experience generations of family lore and leave you to decide whether or not the brothers' ancestors' beliefs, sacrifices and heroism determined their destinies.
Through the brothers' grandmother's wisdom and faith, the boys are taught that their lives are like the Chippewa River that flows through their farm. The strong current will carry them where it wants to take them, no matter how hard they fight it. The story will make you laugh, cry and hopefully search your soul to understand the power of forgiveness and question if the risk or reward of sacrificing for loved ones or your country is truly worth it.
