It has been endorsed by Wilfred
(Billy) Hopkins, author of four top selling books in the UK.
"When it comes to writing
beautiful prose, I have to take my hat off to you. Your descriptions are
superb, lyrical and even poetic. Your dedication and love of the environment
shines through. I liked your use of symbolism. The book has a rich
philosophical vein running through it as well as beautiful analogies. A lot of
dramatic surprises also keep the reader engaged. Dialogue runs smoothly throughout.
It's a book that deserves a second reading in order to capture its full
significance." Wilfred Hopkins
Robert Stever
Robert Stever, a retired doctor from Family Medicine in Seattle, was born in a polluted, sequestered Appalachian town. In Seattle, he was so struck by the pristine beauty of the Pacific Northwest that this book was conceived. People who lived here bubbled with ideas and enthusiasm for life much as his admired Grandfather, inspiring the eccentric character of Uncle John. Since communities in Appalachia were comfortable with the familiar and known, people from other countries were often seen as unknown and suspicious. From this background, Robert was drawn to explore the world and its people. He volunteered two years of medical care in Cambodia and returned with the first medical aid after the fall of Pol Pot in 1979. Other trips have added to inspiration and insight that a smile and respect for others are the best weapons we have for international relations, mightier than the sword.
