"Fear is a terrible thing Andrew, as no doubt you know. It feeds on itself. It grows out of all proportion to the thing that is feared. It's like some sort of cancer. It must be faced time and time and time again but it never actually goes away. That's the real terror of war. The incessant, gnawing fear. And all the acts of bravery and courage never make up for the moment when, for once, the fear gets the better of you and you surrender to blind, consuming, soul destroying panic." Sir James' face was grim as he stared into the fire and forced his mind to relive the memory of those dark days. "It's a terrible thing, to abandon and betray a friend and comrade. A friend in desperate need," he whispered, his eyes clouding as once more he walked the devastated lands of Normandy .... The Makepeace family fight for survival as the past comes to haunt and destroy all they hold dear. From rural Warwickshire to Hong Kong, the wild west of Ireland to New York, death, despair and finally, the Pheonix of redemption emerges.

Australian, Steve Byrne, is twenty-three years old and his adult life is just getting underway. He has recently married, he has one child and a second on the way...but in a flash, everything changes. A tree-felling accident leaves Byrne paralyzed and wheelchair bound. As his world crashes down around him, Steve reshapes his life as a paraplegic. He obtains his private pilot's license and embarks on a solo tour of the United States. Byrne shares his journey from the depths of despair to his new resolve to carve out a new life for himself in this uplifting story.
