The Soldier and the Orphan: Separated by Church and War is an intriguing story of two brothers who suffer the dire consequences of fanaticism and the aftermath of a war they know nothing about. While Billy Jones enjoys motherly love and care, Tommy Jones is transferred from one orphanage to another before being shipped to Canada as a home child. The church and the governing system don’t help. They help sever the tiny cord that holds the brothers together, thus pushing them further apart.

If you enjoy engrossing and thought-provoking stories full of humor, adventure, and intrigue, then you should listen to this book.

He found what he was looking for.
