Description

Navy Captain, Charles Courtland, is a highly decorated veteran and hero of WWI who has seen much action at sea and had to abandon his burning and sinking ship. He now struggles to understand the dark abysmal periods that overtake him, the terrible nightmares, and worse, the sudden disdain for Brent, the young son he once loved so dearly? The daily struggle is tearing him and his beloved wife apart. He is still in fighting his psychological problems when he is sent with his family to Washington, D.C., where he has been posted as British naval attaché. While in America, Brent meets Billy Wade, who will become his best friend and is the son of an American naval family. He will come to love the Wade's especially Billy's younger sister, Julia. With them, Brent will find many of the things missing in his own family life. He has grown up emotionally distant from his father and the mother, whose time was too absorbed in helping his father get well. After Charles' tour of duty in America ends, the family returns to England, where, having always loved the sea, Brent, like his father, decides on becoming a naval officer. The years flow, and he is successful in his career when the upheaval of yet another great war casts its dark shadow upon the world. It is now Brent's turn to go off to war and face the same horrors that his father knew. Kirkus Review... Cordaro's debut is well researched and highly readable, blending historical fiction with military drama while providing a detailed look into British naval service during the early to mid twentieth century ... The appearance of Winston Churchill is one of the novels high points,and his portrayal is handled with an honor and humor befitting the man's legend ... Historical fiction that focuses less on history and more on those who survive it.- Foreword Clarion Review... River of Time is a quick read composed of short, emotion-filled chapters. Cordaro's powerful writing leaves the reader out of breath and dehydrated from sweat and tears. His characters' senses of honor,duty, morality and family feels so real that the reader bonds with them and feels everything they feel, like a saltwater spray on the face or the insensed throb of betrayal ... Not just a novel to entertain,readers will also learn the cost of courage.
