I Always Meant to Tell You
In this book, Perry Robert Wilkes writes through his grieving process in the face of losing not just one, but three, remarkable and much loved family members: his younger and only brother, Steve, Steve's wife Janette, and their younger son, Eliot. All perished in the crash of a small plane in the Alaskan wilderness, while their older son, Alec, waited in Perry's home for his family's return. The writing of this book was the way Perry chose to heal from his own pain; honor the lives of Steve, Janette, and Eliot; and give a gift of love to their friends and family, and especially his nephew Alec. As an ongoing conveersation with Steve, it is also a reminder to anyone struggling with the loss of someone very dear that the conversation need never end, because true love has a story to tell and a voice that can never be stilled.This second edition includes a preface acknowledging the more recent death of the oldest son, Alec, who was never able to recover from the tragic loss of his family, succombing to his pain and taking his own life 17 years later.
Under Torn Paper Mountains
This is an adventure story in its own peculiar way, a novelization of true stories, a small portion of the early years of a life of wanderings and musings and pain and passion in the southwestern deserts, and there were a few hard lessons learned along the way. This story is not a suggestion for others to follow, but a few nuggets may lie among the slag heaps and ruins left behind. And most of it is true. The time frame is the 1960s and 70s. The protagonist is a young man growing up in the Southwest at the time of the Viet Nam war, the birth of the hippie generation and the attendant idealism and hope for social transformation.
Fourteen Lives
This is a family memoir written primarily for my children, my grandchildren, and other treasured family and friends. It begins as far back as I am able to reach, and is based on my memory--fallible as it may be--and my diaries, random family records and oral history, and significant ancestry research. It contains the kind of information I always wished that my ancestors had left for my generation; but they didn't. So I decided someone has to start. Perhaps it will inspire others to continue the story.
