From There to Here

Autor William E. Powell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iul 2011
The novel is a semi-fictionalized roman à clef in which the author describes in great detail, and through the eyes of others, his protagonist, Peter Wyse. The almost 70-year storyline begins in 1937 and ends in 2005, with the scene shifting from New York to Oklahoma, on to West Virginia, and then to Houston and Harris County, Texas.Peter's story starts with his childhood (and a brutal rape), continuing through his school years and into college, where he meets his true love, Sarah. Letters between the lovers tell of their courtship and engagement. An unintended pregnancy threatens Peter's medical school career, while severe depression challenges his marriage and results in a suicide attempt. Along the way, Peter and Sarah raise four children and share many happy memories.Each chapter tells a fascinating story, until deceit, betrayal, and infidelity culminate in divorce. A thorough vetting of the legal process adds fury to the situation. The tragic deaths of Peter's two medical partners, life post-divorce and through remarriage are all explored.From There to Here is not all serious, however. As in life, there is humor, pathos and discovery, and the book ends with a truly surprising conclusion.About the Author: A retired obstetrician, William E. Powell lives in Houston. He was an English major at the University of Rochester, N.Y.Publisher's website: http://SBPRA.com/WilliamEPowell
