Heaven’s Window

Description

It’s the mid-fifties in Boston, and the world is slowly changing. Jobs are disappearing, friends have moved on. Life is becoming a struggle. Just when things seem the darkest, one man finds his faith.

Heaven’s Window is a story of one man’s journey from surviving the war in the Pacific to coming home to a life he becomes lost in. Along the way, he finds his best friend, a stray dog he calls Sunshine. The adventures they embark on make their bond unbreakable.

He battles the demons of depression, booze, and coming to terms with losing his job, home, and everything he holds dear in his life. Begging takes a toll on his soul, and he struggles to survive as he searches for a connection to God. With Sunshine’s help, though, he finds connections to the world around him that give him hope through that struggle, until he finally comes to the day when he can put the fight—all of the fights—behind him for good.

All author proceeds will be used to help the homeless.
