In the book we see him as he goes through different stages of life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e in a town that also changes with events and time. We follow him as he\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e transitions from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and we get to experience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e the personal challenges, setbacks, and, as a young adult, the consequence of a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e choice he makes due to circumstances at the time. His life is affected, and, in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e many ways, shaped by that choice; and though it cleared a pathway for him, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e nevertheless, it caused him to pay a very high price. He goes on to achieve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e material success abroad and joins with other expatriates in noble causes to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e honor and celebrate the sacrifices and contributions of their fathers and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e mothers, whom the world had forgotten; but, in the end, there lingered with him, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e still, an emotional and psychological attachment to the past. Not only does he\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e remember the town that is vanished, his forebears, his birthplace, the sites, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e the favorite places, his childhood companions, the laughter, tears and happy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e events, but there is also the memory of a promise unfulfilled. Perhaps, this is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e best illustrated by the sight of a solitary rose lying on an empty park bench\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e as the story comes to its end\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1963974271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781963974270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Self Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"John Evans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46173136716031,"sku":"9781963974270","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_493ae89d-9848-4f58-bdd3-31277e56078f.jpg?v=1727180098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-james-edwards-story-john-evans-9781963974270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
