Produktinformationen zu „A Pact with the Living (ePub)“
There is a fine line between those who go to war and those who vow to keep them from going. Supporting them on both sides of the divide are the loved ones left behind. A Pact with the Living is about war but is not a war story. It explores howafter all the battles, sacrifices, and losssurvivors on both sides of the divide carry on and come to peace with their grief.
On a cold December night in 1969, all American men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six had their destinies decided by a small piece of paper pulled from a blue capsule, the first selective service lottery. Two men and a woman watching the event will cross paths for the first time. Their journeys through life will clash along the way then unite after going through hell and back.
A Pact with the Living will bring the reader to the Vietnam War Memorial and ask two questions. Are 58,000 names on a wall a just price to pay for a cause? What is the cost to avoid being a name on that wall? In the end, A Pact with the Living will show that the dead on either side of the divide never leave us. They will tell us that the soldier and the pacifist have more in common than not.

Autoren-Porträt von Dan Eberhart
Dan’s travels have taken him around the world, through all 50 states and much of Canada. He embarked upon a diverse set of careers that included elementary school teacher, corporate executive and long-haul truck driver before retiring as a school bus driver. In addition to writing, he volunteers with Eyecycle Colorado (sighted captains and blind stokers on tandem bicycles), the Colorado Dept. of Corrections and in Denver Public Schools. With his wife, Karen, Dan lives in Denver. He has three children; Mariah, Courtney and Travis. Giving him immense joy are his grandchildren Georgia Blue, Medley and Jacob.
Dan comes from a long line of writers, including his father, Perry Eberhart (Guide to Colorado Ghost Towns and Mining Camps and others), and his grandmother, Eve Bennett Haberl (among her teenage romance novels are I, Judy and Concerning Casey).
Dan’s first novel, Quadrangle (OutskirtsPress, 2011), tells the story of Casey Turner who falls in love with Molly on a mountaintop, then is spirited away to the desert by Angelita, and becomes infatuated with Sydney, the confidante he knows he can never have. Casey’s life becomes a quadrangle which will either weather the storm of complexity and conflict, or fall in a heap around him.
