The Dark Side of the Sun

During the course of two wars, brave people fight through the darkness to discover that where there is hope and courage, there is also honor and love. Living in Detroit during the Great Depression, the Schmidt family struggles to maintain loyalty to their adopted country while being drawn into the seductive shadow of Nazi Germany. One by one, they are at the center of a top-secret plot that could change the course of World War II.

Years later, two young Vietnam veterans, William O'Brien and Susan Johnson, try to find love and build a family while they struggle with the traumas they both suffered in the war.

These stories lead the reader to Michigan, Germany, the battlefields of South Vietnam, Texas, Oklahoma, and finally to Minnesota.
