The book is in three parts. The stories are the experiences of three brothers who grew up in the middle of America in the Post World War Two era. It talks about fraternal love and commitment, youthful courage and dreams. The stories are presented together here because they are related and because they each have a message that needs to be told together. Anyone who has a family they cherish will relate to all three stories.
