GRACE AT WAR, an 70,000-word literary/mainstream novel, takes place during the explosive summer of 1970, when sixteen-year-old Grace Hart, traumatized by her boyfriend’s suicide, emulates the locked-down emotions of her combat-veteran brother, Worth. Their quest to make peace with their shattering memories and losses takes them from upstate New York to Long Island and eventually into the north woods where Grace must face their differences in order to save Worth and herself.
Brother War
Home he came Kicked down the door Swore his name Was Brother War.
Day and night He begged for more, “Light, oh, light,” Cried Brother War.
Horrors cease Deaths haunt no more. Sister Peace Saves Brother War.
