Publisher's summary
Sometimes small acts of kindness lead to greater things.
The author of Darkness: A Slave's Story and The Lilac Nurse brings to life a heartbreaking story of a young boy in 1937 Missouri. Jeff Nebeker-Johnson creates a poignant tale of suffering and survival. The United States Depression of the 1930s was a difficult period between two world wars. Americans from all walks of life found themselves without food, work and a clear future. Danny, an eleven-year-old boy, learns that because of his father's shrewd financial tactics, they survive well with food and money. But circumstances can change, and the dark secret his father holds decides the ruination of their family and lifestyle. In a few short years, Danny finds himself alone. With the help of an elderly former slave couple, he learns not only to survive, but rise above his struggles in the small town of Sangster Flats, Missouri. The Resilient Son looks at the turmoil in Danny's world as he finds himself trying to survive World War II Germany as a young soldier.
The Resilient Son is a book about empowerment and fortitude. Readers will find it compelling in its scope and details. Members of the Greatest and Silent Generations lived through world wars and an almost unimaginable Depression lasting nearly ten years. The strength and resilience of those who were its unwilling participants is unheard of in its day.
Dr. Jeff Nebeker-Johnson is a full-time physician in Salt Lake City, Utah. He has been a medical researcher for the past 35 years and has published numerous articles of original medical research. In his spare time he performs genealogy work as a certified genealogist. He has recorded information for over 10,000 slaves and their descendants.
