From the 3-page first story "Childhood," which was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for 2011, to the 35-page "Danny-boy" we see that all human beings ultimately travel down a road of fate and circumstances that leads them to live their lives the way these conditions force them to and end up on a path that they cannot escape from, for the remainder of their time on earth. In the title story we see how the circumstances in one human being's life can have repercussions that can lead to a war bordering on an apocalypse.
In "Peace On Earth," the reality of the horrors of World War I become starkly all too real but so does the humanity of mankind when the Germans and Americans call for a one-day truce on Christmas Day, a historical event that actually happened.
All readers who enjoy history: Religion, God and the Devil, good and bad, rich and poor, weak and strong, all weave their sometimes righteous, sometimes brutal ways into these stories, from the beginnings, and all the way through, to the endings.
