Fathers & Sons - The Family Coleman (Paperback)

A family saga set in contemporary America, Fathers & Sons follows four generations of Coleman men and their families through the 20th century. Each generation came of age during WWII, the cultural revolution of the 60s and 70s, or 9/11, fostering the greatest father-son gaps in history. Misunderstandings and family rumor reveal a family rife with dysfunction, anger, and unfounded mistrust. But the past is not simple, and is instead a fascinating composite of proud accomplishments, cowardly and immoral actions, and outright despairaa war vet who claims he spent the war at a desk in France, a Wall Street maven who is above cheating. But there is hope in the present, for as time runs out for the old WWII vet, who now sees life in a new light, he works to separate fact from fiction and redeem his family. This may, however, come to late, as young Dylan Coleman befriends an ambiguous Arab man in post-9/11 America, bringing tragedy in the glare of national media attention.
