Beleaguered divorce attorney Christopher Irvin was far more astute at ending the marriages of others than creating one of his own. So, when the specter of death shattered the quiet complacency of his well-ordered world, he began to re-evaluate his life from the ground up. Chris' search for meaning leads him directly to his expatriate uncle, Roy Lankster. Roy was a decorated member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Nearly 50 years earlier, Roy's P-51 Mustang fighter plane crashed in France in the lead up to WWII's D-Day invasion. Broken, battered and barely alive, he's rescued by Marie Renoir, a member of the French Resistance. Their courage in the face of the danger of capture is only overshadowed by a love between them so powerful that it rivals the first and greatest love in human history. The raging war, synthetic insanity and the unassigned immoral forces of the universe conspire to tear them apart. Chris, through Roy's writings, relives his uncle's relentless struggle to reunite with his love for the ages and embarks upon on a personal journey of love and redemption.

Kenneth W. Williams was born in the small town of Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He was raised to adulthood in its red dirt and cattail marshes by his illiterate and twice widowed grandmother. Three generations of Williams, Redds and Gentrys came of age in their two-bedroom shotgun shack filled with love and respect. Nothing was guaranteed to them, but his grandmother managed to feed, clothe and keep a roof over their heads. Her humble ambition for all her children and grandchildren was that they learn to read and graduate high school. Ken did both and, at her urging, went on to earn an undergraduate and law degree from Cornell University. He now resides in Connecticut with his wife and children.
