Apparent Wind

By James Ellsworth

Des Dilman has several problems. He has lost the love of his wife and his son. He has foregone his youthful wishes. He was increasingly frustrated with his career. And his life is about to end. But he has a plan.Using a life-long friend as ally, he proposes a 'dare' to his son, a condition of his will in hopes of helping his son to avoid the father's sins.Their father-son relationship gets further buffeted by revelations in Des's journals that take his son to parts of Canada, Spain, Italy, Cuba and Brazil. It's an epic story and anchors the narrative in several episodes of Canada's foreign affairs from 1935-1985. Canadians will find the Dilman ride in Apparent Wind interesting especially to commemorate Canada's 150th birthday.
