O knihe

Amy Buchanan Herman grew up hearing stories of her great-grandfather, Alvin Phillips. His family disowned him because of his unfaithfulness and desertion, but did he deserve to be stricken from the family tree?

In an effort to understand her ancestors, Amy discovered the fascinating life of a complex man who followed his dreams. His determination took him from the drawing rooms of Boston high society in the late 1800s to the gold mines of Wyoming. However, his abandonment had a lasting effect on his family.

In this biographical novelization, the reader is invited to consider the importance of life's decisions on oneself as well as on those he loves. Throughout the book he is subtly challenged to judge Alvin Phillips on the evidence that is being presented. Should he have been given the eternal sentence of banishment from his family tree, or should he be forgiven for pursuing his chosen path at all costs?
