Synopsis

Based on a True Story

A Thrilling and Romantic World War II Novel Inspired by the Remarkable Life of Robert Amidon

"You have your education; now let’s see what you can do with it."

Robert Amidon, the disowned grandson of one of America’s wealthiest and most privileged men, left home with nothing but a new suit and $1. He made his own way through the Great Depression and eventually found his purpose in the US Navy aboard the famous NO boat – the heavy cruiser USS New Orleans.

Robert believed his luck had changed for the better when he married Tony, a beautiful and hot-tempered redhead from Texas. They would finally be together in the tropical paradise of Honolulu, Hawaii. It was November of 1941, and the entire world was about to change.

Robert “Bob” Amidon was my grandfather. In 1988, he wrote the highlights of his amazing life in a spiral-bound notebook. It was tucked away in my mom’s safe deposit box and discovered only after her death in 2021. What you read in this novel includes the events he wrote about, in the order he wrote them. His life story was an adventure, and he didn’t pull any punches telling it. In other words, the good, the bad, as well as the beautiful and ugly, are all included.

“From Shadows to Sunlight” brings to life the triumphs and trials of an ordinary man navigating an extraordinary era. Told with raw honesty, it captures the beautiful, the heartbreaking, and the indelible moments that defined a generation.
