Raised by her Grandpa in Pennsylvania, Jenny Pearson has her life torn away when he dies. Having sold his farm to clear his debts, the only remnant of his estate is an unopened letter from England in a faded envelope.With no known family, and thinking the letter might help her trace her relatives, she embarks on a transatlantic journey of discovery. Little does she realize that it will prove to be the key to a Pandora's Box of events, problems and injustices stretching back over two centuries, the ripples from which will reach out to the four continents.

Captain James R. Cole was the third generation of the Cole family to carry the same pistol into combat. James believed he knew the story of the old Long Colt-the "Peacemaker"-a 45 caliber revolver. The first of his family to carry the gun was his grandfather, who handed it down to James'' father.  His father handed down the weapon to James along with the tales of his grandfather''s wartime experiences and stories of his own combat, and all involved the same unique revolver. James recalled his own experiences with the old weapon in the jungles of Vietnam. The ancient weapon seemed to possess an aura of protective power over the soldier who carried it in combat.However, in the Vietnam War, the long Colt would protect only Captain Cole''s life, thus he was the only survivor when his small command was overpowered in a fierce battle. Badly wounded, and grief stricken from the loss of his men, he resigned his commission and dedicated the rest of his life to the care and welfare of others through gospel ministry.Little did he know that national problems would hound him in his new life, or the role the old Peacemaker would play.As he attempted to build a life for himself and his new family in the Old South, James would face ridicule as a veteran of the Vietnam War, racial unrest, and Islamic intervention. But with God''s grace, the love of his beautiful wife and children-and perhaps some "other worldly" assistance from the old Colt, he pursued life in a sometimes dangerous, but fulfilling manner.

Baker sets out in clear and concise language a psychological self-help programme for panic sufferers, answering important questions such as: What is a panic attack? What does it feel like?

When Paul is offered a lucrative contract to restore an old house by his old school friend Rollo, he accepts the job without thinking.Only later do questions begin to form in his mind. Why is he being paid so much for standard restoration work; why is an architect, already famous for his exciting modern designs, so anxious to restore an obscure period house; and what is the nature of his association with the strange threesome whom Rollo's wife refers to as his cronies.As the answers to these questions slowly emerge, Paul finds himself facing challenges that will test him to the limit.
