Burden of Remembrance

Set in Cleveland, this novel begins in 1945 at the close of World War II and ends in 1968 at the height of the Viet Nam War. It is the story of a multi-generational family's struggle to remain united as each member grapples with individual painful memories of abandonment, betrayal, sickness, and war. On the verge of healing, they are further traumatized by the revelation of long-buried, shameful secrets which force them to question the boundaries of loyalty, mercy, and forgiveness.
