The Benjamin's Field Trilogy follows a family over the course of sixty years through war, peace, triumph, tragedy, heartbreak, and final happiness as they learn that the people and institutions meant to sustain society often fail - with tragic results.
Book Three: Emancipation, opens as America is on the cusp of World War II. Jeremy Kyner, now a man, is barred from military service at a time when America is almost defenseless against marauding German submarines. Finally joining the newly formed Civil Air Patrol that represents the country's best hope to counter the Germans, Jeremy confronts a deadly enemy from an unexpected quarter and - with help from an astonishing source - is offered a chance of achieving final emancipation.
Historically accurate and filled with adventure, Benjamin's Field: Emancipation,is a thrilling finale to the Benjamin's Field Trilogy.
More a philosophical treatment of the human condition than a mere fictional story, the Benjamin's Field Trilogy is an interwoven tapestry of parables that explore various aspects of human existence, such as the role of family loyalty versus individual need, personal liberty and how it relates to society's demands, religious prejudice, racism, intolerance, the role of charity, and the overwhelming need for humans to forgive one another.
