Beschreibung

A smalltown Oklahoma family has endured the financial strife of The Great Depression and survived the struggles of The War. Following World War II, they are now faced with the challenges of The Aftermath. One son has fought in the invasion of North Africa, the conquering of Sicily, the hard fight up the Italian peninsula to Rome, and, finally, the Battle of the Bulge in France. The other son has witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust and the hordes of displaced people. Now, they must return to their small home town and begin their civilian life. Their parents found financial security with their wartime jobs, but are now faced with adjusting to living with severely reduced income. All must deal with local prejudices and politics as they adapt to the turmoil of American people returning to peacetime.

This is the third book of a three book series. The first two books are: DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES - the Great Depression and DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES - the War. Both are available as ebooks at smashwords.com and other ebook sellers.

Autor

James Dwight Patterson was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His parents were both born in Texas and the family made numerous trips to Texas, especially Brownsville, where his mother graduated high school. Texas made a fond and lasting impression on James which is reflected in his writing. A Matter of Will was inspired by an actual murder that occurred in 1936. The fictional Sheriff of Brownsville, Will Pearson, diligently pursues the killers who have sought sanctuary in Mexico. His efforts are frustrated by conflicting laws and attitudes in the bordering countries. The events in the zealous pursuit of the killers are pure fiction.

James is the author of a trilogy of books titled Dire Circumstances - The Great Depression; Dire Circumstances - The War; and Dire Circumstances - The Aftermath. He experienced the decades of the 1930's and 1940's, two of the most troubled and devasting periods in American history. The stories follow a smalltown Oklahoma family as they deal with the challenges of financial calamity, destructive war, and the adjustments to peace and an uncertain future.

He received his BA in Industrial Psychology from Tulsa University and his MS in the same field from Purdue University. His writing skills were honed through numerous business publications and 5 film scripts. DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES is his first novel. He now resides in Santa Barbara, CA with his wife Judith.
