The Adoption

By Eric Harrington Woro

Decorated WWII Army Colonel Dr. Reginald Schiller suffers a freak mishap resulting in his sterility. He and his no-nonsense wife adopt two children in the early 1950s, a boy and a girl, one a musical prodigy and the other a tormented soul with multiple anxiety disorders. Their military-style disciplinary approach to parenting leads to explosive complications for the family, coming to a head when the teenage son falls in love with a 1960s Berkeley radical. This conflict, happening in living rooms all over America with returning WWII veterans and their more independently minded children, sets up a family dynamic we will all recognize. The author captures the ethos of the times and the clash of generations in this insightful and un-put-downable new novel.
