However, too often those he cares for die untimely deaths, and he feels their passing has some paranormal connection with him. Consequently, he develops a deep sense of guilt and eventually chronic paranoia. \u003cbr\u003e Other aspects of Theo's life are adventurous and fortuitous. He is a Marine in combat before he turns 18; and, before the age of 19, he is awarded the Medal of Honor for heroic deeds at the Chosen Reservoir during the Korean War. Wounded himself three times, he carried his more seriously wounded platoon leader to safety. \u003cbr\u003e After a medical discharge from the Marine Corps, Theo attends Montana State University. There he becomes an outstanding student and falls in love for the first time. However, before he and his fiancé can marry, she is killed in a skiing accident. \u003cbr\u003e Just prior to that tragedy, Theo wins millions of dollars in a lottery. With a bulging bank account and a broken heart, he retreats to Asia where he becomes an English teacher. Over several years in Asia, he marries three Asian women: one Chinese, one Filipina, and one Thai. He has one child with each of his three wives. \u003cbr\u003eTheo's first wife divorces him because of the manifestations of his paranoia; his second dies giving birth; and his third wife divorces him because of his chronic malaria and her mother's catastrophic stroke. \u003cbr\u003e With his lottery winnings, Theo leaves each child a substantial trust fund for their care and education. \u003cbr\u003e Finally, he becomes a recluse in a veteran's retirement home. There, at the age of seventy he is discovered by his three adult children, all successful attorneys, who discovered each other only weeks before starting their search for their father.\u003cbr\u003e His investments make him a multi billionaire, and before his death he leaves his fortune to a trust, one directed by his children, to educate Asian children who have been abandoned by their American fathers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Bennett Foulk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615915728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615915722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Foulk Creations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.73d","brand":"William Bennett Foulk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799378604287,"sku":"9780615915722","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-death-paranoia-william-bennett-foulk-9780615915722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
