As the Wind Walks

AS THE WIND WALKS is an epic tale of two men who represent two different eras, their wars and loves. Both grow and mature in crucibles of conflict-the Civil War and World War II. David Werner is a ninety-four year old veteran of the American Civil war. His great grandson, Edmund Carter faces maturity in 1940s Baltimore. While his great grandfather recounts his time in the Union Army, after enlisting at the age of fourteen, Edmund considers his own immediate future in the military. As the candle burns low for David, Edmund's flame and passion are ignited-not only for war, but for a remarkable girl. The Civil War and World War II sagas take in the Fifty-Fifth Ohio Volunteer Regiment of 1861 to 1865, and the Marine Raiders in the Pacific. The story uncovers two loves amongst the misery of these wars-the love between grandfather and grandson, and their love for the women who guide them; and encompasses the friendships that strengthen their characters. It is an account told through the eyes of ordinary men who stood tall at a time when their country needed them.
