Euclid Avenue - A Story of War and the Forgotten

A psychological novel set in wartime theatres from World War I through Vietnam with a secondary plot love story.

The old house has been Blanche Wilson's home for all of her seventy years. It so vividly holds all those memories of her brother, Charles, laying there wasting away in the downstairs bedroom after receiving that dreadful wound in World War I. His son, Loren, so wanted to fly, even until the very day his bomber went down over Germany.

She often gazes at the other houses along the old street, many of which have their own memories that have waned away with the passing years. Carl Manning broke the hearts of all those women who thought they loved him, but he wasn't the same when he returned from Anzio. Everyone ridiculed Jamie Williamson but all that changed just before the fall of Bataan. Those two men who befriended Robert Mathis before they were killed in Korea changed him from such a wretched bastard. Randall Coleman had a brilliant career ahead of him but Vietnam and Agent Orange took it all away. Joan Warren was truly in love with Arnold Gray but when he began to think only of what he wanted for himself, it led to her ruin. All of their memories remain among the fading images along Euclid Avenue.
