Honor and Destiny: The reminiscences of Thomas Alexander Walker, Esq., of his youth, during the Second War against the British, 1812-1815

By Stephen Grant Meyer

The United States is being ripped apart by war, not just by the enemy but by the politicians at each other's throats. Some are saying we cannot win and some are even saying we've already lost. If that sounds familiar, it should ... It's 1812; the fledgling country is fighting for its life, and fourteen-year-old Thomas Alexander Walker is in the middle of it: the politics, the war, the debate, and the desolation. If they survive, the lessons they learn will carry them with honor to fulfill their destiny.Honor and Destiny seamlessly blends fiction and fact. It sends the reader back in time to meet historic figures and to witness events in a way that is both accessible and engaging, while exploring the values of understanding and compassion, principle and patriotism. Honor and Destiny is a coming-of-age adventure that will please readers, young and old.About the Author: Stephen Grant Meyer was born and raised in southern Ontario, Canada.
