About this ebook

Growing up in a small town in Tennessee,
Joe Burke, a frail child, is bullied and
beaten by an older boy, Carl Overland.
Joes drunken father, a deputy sheriff,
ridicules him for letting it happen.
As a teenager, he falls in love with a senators
daughter. They plan for Joe to enlist in the
Air Force while she attends college. Their
plans end abruptly.
Thirty years later, colonel Burke returns
to his home town for his mothers funeral.
He learns Carl Overlands criminal
activities are terrorizing the town.
Due to Burkes thirty years of
law enforcement in the Air Force,
he is asked to retire and run for
sheriff.
Learning that the girl he has
continued to love and dream about
is a widow, he decides to retire
and run.
His second chance for happiness
is jeopardized when he learns the
senator may be linked to Carl
Overland.
