This book is a collection of stories and poems written by John W. Wood. Some of the stories come from his memories as a boy growing up in Flint, Michigan.
There are poignant lyrics of love lost and then found. Born during WWII, John grew up during the Korean War, and his writing has been inspired by the memories of the military men who came home. As a peace officer and bodyguard, John has met people from all walks of life.
His time in the Marines gave him opportunities to work for, and with, many veterans. They shared their stories of combat, and this comes out in his poems. This collection speaks of failures and triumphs, and above all, it speaks from the heart.
