Uphill, Against the Wind

By D W Pattan

Synopsis: This is a bildungsroman, told via a female narrator in tribute to her deceased, and despised, brother. The story lays bare the travails of sibling rivalry and the envy of those gifted enough to engender covetousness in others. It explores teamwork, leadership, friendship in their myriad forms and beauties.

Autobiography: I am a retired Army Colonel, a physician (gynecologist), and a life long competitive athlete. I am the proud father of two children who are individually distinguishing themselves as attorneys. I am also the harried caretaker of my daughter's French Bulldog, Moira.
