One Eyed Jack: The uncovered mystery of Clam River

A story that spans a century! Starting with a young man in 1964 and weaving back through connections that reach to the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness in 1864, the story brings history alive. The young man overcomes the "fear by ignorance" to write poems with a widowed man living in what locally is believed to be a haunted cottage. Those same fears have to be overcome for the young man to reach out to a local Negro couple to check out an old legend his father had originally shared. The connections bring all four characters to an exciting common ground of caring. This is a story of compassion and beauty as well as history and intrique. As the book says: "For now, settle back and let me tell you a story."
