About the Book

With the end of World War II, a new prosperity swept across the land and America began its recovery through a housing and baby boom. After Seth received his release from active duty in the Oklahoma National Guard, he soon joined the family company, the McDonald Corporation while Josetta continued to juggle her medical practice and raising their four children. By the time the Korean conflict began, Garrett, their oldest son, decided to continue the McDonald tradition of military service and joined the Army after his high school graduation. The tragedy of war left its mark on Garrett that he carried for the rest of his life. When he returned home, he made plans for college and medical school. After his high school sweetheart graduated from nursing school, the couple decided to marry. Soon after Victoria McDonald was appointed Nurse Supervisor of the Skilled Nursing Facility at Tulsa Memorial Hospital, a mystery began to unfold. Patient deaths were increasing at an unusual rate. Could there be a serial killer in the hospital? If so, who could it possibly be? It was Victoria's responsibility to uncover the truth. Now that Kara was married, Josetta and Seth concentrated on their twin sons, Jordan and Justin. Jordan had always been a happy well adjusted child, but as he grew, his brother, Justin, became increasingly disturbed and rebellious. Upon high school graduation, Jordan enrolled in college and the R.O.T.C. program with plans for a military career. Justin, at total odds with his family's philosophic beliefs, left for San Francisco in hopes of finding meaning for his own life. America's involvement in Vietnam reached into the lives of the McDonald family as first Garrett was called back to active duty and then Jordan followed. While they battled a foreign enemy, their brother Justin was battling his own private demons of drugs, alcohol, and an unproductive lifestyle. After hitting rock bottom and finding himself in prison after being falsely accused, Justin decided to return home for a second chance. He tried hard to fit back into the family but little by little, the personal demons reclaimed him until he was forced to face the terrible truth and accept the dire consequences. Following the long, frustrating and dismal conclusion to the Vietnam War, Garrett and Jordan returned to a different America: an America that had been polarized for so many years and needed time to heal. Although the war was officially ended, a new threat and a new enemy was gaining strength and changing the world's idea of security. Terrorism, that had long been centered in the Middle East, stretched its tentacles into Europe and the United States. Along with everyone else in the country, the McDonald family suffered the results of unreasonable and unimaginable hatred. Their strength, stamina, and faith would be tested time and again as they unwittingly became participants in two of this country's greatest tragedies.
