Love, Loss, and Honor, Volume III

By: Herbert Wiens

Narrated by: Kim Owens

Karen Williams-Schmidt’s children are approaching adulthood. The week of her son Bill’s high school graduation, he commits what may be the biggest mistake of his life. Bill’s error starts Carrie Bennett, his best friend since childhood, down her own dark path of abuse and Stockholm Syndrome. Heartbroken and wracked with guilt, Bill bounces between jobs and relationships, trying to find someone to love. The conflict between the two rural youths leaves an international path of destruction involving competing Mediterranean crime bosses, Interpol, even a small Hutterite community.

Then there is Paul, the cousin of Bill’s dead war hero father. What’s his deal?
