Description
<p><strong><em>A tragic warrior lost in two worlds... Which one will he choose?</em></strong></p><p>The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.</p><p>The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.</p><p>Is he Lieutenant Freddie Williams, a leader of men, a proud officer in the US Army who has suffered such egregious injury and loss? Or is he Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the monstrous Horde, his only solace the beautiful gardener, Rebecca, whose gentle words calm the storms in his soul.</p><p>In the conscious world, the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous mission to that of the prince—a journey along a dark road, haunted by demons of guilt and memory. Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.</p>
Story Behind The Book
My parents served as models for my main characters Jack and Eva. Truth is, I never knew much about their history, but I did know they met at a restaurant in Chicago in 1930. That's all I knew. So, being intrigued with the history of the Great Depression and knowing they began their married life right after the 1929 crash, I imagined them there. I so enjoyed writing the novel, learning about the Great Depression, and "watching" them negotiate the times.
Reviews
<p>I always try to read any Virginia writer and since Mr. Fuller is practically in my back yard, I had to give this one a read.</p>
<p>This is a love story, but it is not JUST a love story. The characters are memorable and people you wish you knew. It is set in the Great Depression era so the mores and manner of speaking are frank and honest to the time.</p>
<p>I thoroughly enjoyed the read and can honestly recommend it to anyone interested in a good book by a fine writer with an eye for characters.</p>

<p>As you read the book, it's like you become part of the story or wished that you<br />
could find that kind of love and dedication in your life.</p>
<p>This book is a must read. For those of you who hunger for a good love story, this is it. Not your typical love story so, hold onto your hats!!</p>
<p>Enjoy... I did.</p>

<p>Good theme,well written but badly in need of a proof reading. The author should have caught some of these numerous mistakes.</p>
