'Til the Boys Come Home—At fifteen, Danny O'Brian dreams of being something different than what his union-leader father has become—and now that the Richards family has moved to town, maybe it's possible. The Richards have everything that the O'Brians seem to lack—education, money, social standing—and best of all, they are truly kind to Danny.
Everything changes, however, when war takes the two young men far beyond the peaceful streets of Pocatello, Idaho. Dan must fight in the trenches, reluctantly using the one skill he was taught by his father. Meanwhile, Trevor battles the enemy in the skies. But war will not be kind to these two men with a brotherly bond.
A lyrical and sweeping story of a friendship unfolding in the days of the First World War, 'Til the Boys Come Home shows that there can be life after tragedy and that sometimes the one we need most desperately to forgive is ourself.
I'll Be Seeing You—As the depression worsens, a distant war draws near. Dan O'Brian finds he is once again embroiled with the inner conflicts he had hoped were far behind him after returning from World War I. Dan holds a strong conviction that the United States should stay out of the new war-because this time it is his son, Cory, whose life could be threatened by a foreign menace. But convictions can change.
Through his work as a musician, Dan finds an unlikely friend in Josh Brown, a man who challenges Dan's view of the world. And though both men share a common tragic link to the past, events of the future will soon forever bond the two men's families together.
In an era when the future is uncertain as it is exciting, Cory O'Brien and Nathan Brown know they must defend freedom, just as their fathers have done. What they don't yet understand are the human costs of war-to those in the battle and those at home.
I'll Be Seeing You reaches beyond the battlefield as Jerry Borrowman delivers an enthralling and beautifully detailed narrative that will inspire your soul.
As Time Goes By—As German bombs fall over London and England is drawn into war, members of the Carlyle family are forced to make choices that will deeply affect their Lives—and the Lives of thousands of others. Family patriarch Philip, a member of the House of Lords and a confidant of Winston Churchill, has been struggling for the esteem of his peers since joining the LDS Church. As he slowly gains acceptance, little does Philip realize there is someone very close to him who would like to see him destroyed—even if it means taking the entire country down with him.
