The Reunion
by Dan Walsh
Expert storyteller Dan Walsh pens a new tale filled with the things his fans have come to love – forgiveness, redemption, love and that certain bittersweet quality that few authors ever truly master. Fans old and new will find themselves drawn into this latest story about restoration for the broken and ignored.
Walsh brilliantly weaves together two stories of men embroiled in turmoil –Aaron Miller a Vietnam vet who returned from war only to lose everything and of Dave Russo, a writer unable to love again. The Reunion opens with Aaron, 40 years after the war, slowly putting his life back together. Dave uncovers his heroic actions during the war, leading both men to find a second chance in life and love – if they’re willing to take a risk.Walsh captures genuine emotion in his writing, and according to RT Book Reviews, he “demonstrates that, like Nicholas Sparks, men are capable of writing romantic fiction.”
Walsh has mastered telling stories set in separate time periods. The Reunion is a contemporary story with flashbacks to Vietnam. When Walsh was young, he hated history until he discovered a few non-fiction history books that read like page-turning novels. “They made history come alive,” says Walsh. “Reading became a joy. That’s my goal now, to create that same experience for my readers. I hope they get inspired and thoroughly enjoy themselves.
ISLAND BREEZES
Dan Walsh’s books always leave me not knowing what to say at the end. I’m just too overcome with emotions. You are definitely going to need that box of tissues close at hand while reading this.
Mr. Walsh can just reach out and pull you into his books. This one will take you to ‘Nam and back.
Along the way you’ll see fear, courage, love, despondency, sadness and overwhelming joy.
At the end of the day, you’ll want to have these people in your real life.
What’s next, Mr. Walsh? How will your next book pull at my heartstrings? I guess I can give my tear ducts a little rest until then.
