"Glimpse The Promised Land," a historical novel set in Eastern North Carolina from 1970-2001, relates the days, the dreams, the adventures, and the risks young homebuilders and their friends from college days imagine and act upon as they pursue fulfillment of the American Promise: hard work grows great wealth. Family history flashbacks dramatize the human appeal of America's conflicted dream in every earlier age, from the Lost Colony to the O.K. Corral, to the 9/11/2001 attacks on America.
To escape their own work and family problems, these young adults of the 1970s explore Ocean Drive and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as often as possible, dancing to beach music by night until they drop off exhausted from intoxication, thus forgetting the huge life-decisions that await them back home. Eventually, the personal wars they fight and the battles they lose through poor decisions made heedlessly, lead them to insights rimmed with pain and to a need for redemption purchased by self-discipline and care for others--and themselves.
Entertaining and insightful, with a dose of humility, this saga offers a stoney road to redemption for every truth-seeker wanting to justly manifest their best destiny and inalienable right to pursue personal fulfillment and happiness.
