Publisher Description
A young American farm boy and a Japanese student are swept away from their lives by war and end up playing a deadly game of cat and mouse on a Pacific Island. It is a world war between with the lives and cultures of empires at stake, the largest and most vicious war to sweep across the globe. In spite of the sweep of the war around the world, in August 1942 many were focused on a rugged and brutal South Pacific island called Guadalcanal. Here, two determined nations pitted all they could spare committing every airplane, ship and soldier they could funnel into the cauldron. It was not just men viciously battling each other to the death, but inhospitable terrain, weather, disease, illness and even starvation plagued both sides. Starvation Island ‘the Canal’ was called by the Americans, and the Japanese used the same phrase, ga-to to describe gadarukanaru. Private Henrik Hahnemann was an eighteen year old Missouri farm boy growing up in the hard scrabble times of the Great Depression. Known for his hunting skills, his close-knit family often depended on him to bring home dinner. Shaken and bitter about the dastardly Japanese sneak attack, he was fixated on revenge and righting a great wrong. He chose the Marine Corps as the means for his personal retribution. Granted an early high school graduation, ‘Handyman’ Henrik struggled with the change from a peaceful farmer’s son, but his platoon came to recognize his shooting and hunting skills. When the chips were down he summoned the determination necessary to survive against hopeless odds. Superior Private Obatia Yoshiro was an average twenty year old student expected to eventually take over his father’s glass works along with the production of mysterious glass spheres for the Japanese Army. The unassuming economics student has another side seldom seen by most. In the summer months he crews his uncle’s fishing boat, exposing him to the physical and mental demands of the elements. His school plans suddenly undermined by a draft notice, he makes the best of a dismal and brutal life of absolute obligation and unquestioning obedience. Values and beliefs, discipline and obedience, massed firepower or skill at arms, which would prevail in this nightmare? Or was it a matter of the small Stars and Stripes flag carried by one or the belt of a thousand stitches—sen’ninbari—carried by the other? Would either protect or inspire? Would they see home again, or did it matter?

Aidan McCrea and Kelsey, his wife, along with Aidan's brother, Rory, are joint owners of Star Sheep and Cattle Company. Aidan is the cattleman, bent on increasing his Black Angus herds and his acreage. He has political aspirations and hopes to one day become the Governor of Idaho. Rory McCrea raises sheep. Rory is black Irish and roguish which doesn't make Aidan happy. That Kelsey is attracted to Rory further adds to Aidan's dislike of his brother. The two brothers are often at odds on how to run their company. Rory considers Kelsey his "ideal woman" and that also causes friction between the brothers. After a major disagreement, Rory decides it's time to cut the ties and move to a Montana ranch, leaving Kelsey behind in Idaho. Can Rory find happiness on the new ranch and will his current love, Marta Lansdorf, finally displace Kelsey in Rory's heart?
Martha Baker was a very average Midwestern girl. She wrote in her journal nearly every day of her life beginning at the age of nine. Her life changed directions many times but she always stayed true to her journal. Some people find it hard to deny their nature. Martha found it impossible. Her inner conflicts and tortured decisions affected her life far more than events happening in the world around her. Author Thomas Isaac Franklin served as both editor of Martha's journals and writer of this chronicle of her early life. All of the most fantastic events and deeply felt emotions in the book came directly from her journals. Her entries were often graphic, uncensored, and raw. They are intended for mature readers. Franklin had to supplement the sometimes-sparse journal entries with research. He interviewed Martha's relatives, friends, and noteworthy characters that appear in her journals. He found it necessary to expand the least descriptive portions of the journals to add imagery, form, and continuity to his writing. As you open Martha's Journals: Book One, you will be privy to her deepest held thoughts and desires. She will tell you secrets she would never verbalize to even her closest friends. This narrative follows Martha's life from birth to womanhood. You will accompany her as she explores her mind, body, and desires like few woman could or would.
