Sean and Pete Tierney, two brothers living in a small town in Iowa, face the difficulties of growing up during the great depression while their family struggles to hold on to a business and a farm. As the world edges closer to war, they choose different career paths. Meanwhile, their uncle Deklen stumbles into a dangerous situation that will change his life and the lives of all the members of his family. Both brothers join the military but in very different roles. Many little known stories of World War Two are revealed in the war exploits of the Tierney brothers. After the war, the brothers continue their lives, one as a military officer and the other as a farmer. In this book, the reader will discover some of the untold stories of the great depression, world war two and the post-war period. It was a fun and challenging book to write. My research took me in many different directions just as the story will take the reader in many different directions.
