In His Footsteps: Is a story that was written with our country's veterans in mind. It is also for the survivors left behind, by the ones that died in battle. Jeff O'Connor is a thirty plus year old man who lost his father in the Vietnam War. He wakes up one morning feeling his life isn't worth much as it was. Though he is a successful business man, a father of two, his wife has divorced him. He figures his problem comes from not having been raised by his parents, but his grandmother. Though she did her best, she couldn't give him what he needs as to information about his father. To add to that, she told him all about his mother, but she wouldn't talk about her son. It was this lack of information that didn't allow him closure. He feels if he had a better understanding of who his father was it would help him. Though he knows that he'll never get his father back he feels the next-best thing would be to walk, "In his footsteps." In doing what he proposed to do may give him something to start a new life from. Though he sees some problems in what he decides to do, he also feels it will be worth it. As with so many things we decide to do, he finds himself with more than he expected. One of the things he learns is that no matter what you do; you're apt to touch the lives of others. So if you're up to a story full of adventure, action, mystery, suspense and a few tears: Start turning the pages for a story you will find hard to believe.
