Anton is a boy of twelve when World War II turns his life upside down. He discovers his first love and soul mate when he finds Marie in the midst of the Nazi occupation of France. Though his mettle is severely tested as he experiences the tragic loss of everything he loves, he perseveres. From the French Resistance to the liberation of Paris, to the high-fashion industry in America in the 1950s, and to the bucolic valley of Sonoma, California, Anton comes full circle. Through tragedy, loss, love, revenge, and finally, a life fulfilled, The Soap Maker will make you cry, laugh, and eventually, smile.
Imagine sometime in the distant past, before modern and organized societies, and several thousand years after the dinosaurs roamed the earth, a time when the earth was still relatively uninhabited other than tribes that roamed the planet across the varied continents. Suddenly, there are advanced colonies scattered across the planet that have the skill and knowledge to build great pyramids, build ships that can sail great distances and navigate based upon the stars, people with knowledge of the cosmos and mathematics. One such colony has sprung up along the coast of what is now known as central California, a village of perhaps two-hundred-plus souls who have come from far away. Among these are a young man and a young woman who have fallen in love but must overcome the embodiment of evil itself. They also must search for the object that will tell of their past and of their origins—an object that is critical to the successful continuation of their future and of the future of generations to come.
Trasker and Florin’s lives are changing rapidly. There will be many joys in their future as well as great challenges. Trasker must complete the mission that his father was unable to and find the object that will reveal the past and that is essential to their future. Once again, Trasker must summon his courage and to overcome the obstacles set in his path and avoid the dangers that lie hidden. Once again, Florin will be a critical ally in this quest. Will their love be enough to see them through the challenges that lie ahead? Will they be able to accept what is revealed?
