About this ebook

When Tony Franco’s brother dies in his arms after a botched armed robbery in the south side of Detroit, his fate is changed forever as his new life is nothing anyone could have expected.

Against the Wind is the story of escaped prisoner Tony Franco and his relationship with his best friend and mentor, Pastor Edward Rinehart.

After Tony breaks out of prison, he travels to the other side of the state and hides in the tiny farming town of LaRue. The small Ohio town has only 800 people and Tony is the only young black person. Tony pretends to be a pastor in training sent to assist with the development of a new church building.

Originally, he pretends to be a pastor to keep himself from being discovered and sent back to jail. But after a life-changing miracle, the pastor in training learns that he is a true believer after all and was sent by God to do enormous good.

Scott Fields

Scott was born and raised in La Rue, Ohio, a small village nestled in the farmlands of mid Ohio. It was there that he learned to appreciate small town life and country living. Scott was drafted by the Detroit Tigers back in 1966. He turned down their offer so that he could attend Ohio University to pursue his real dream of becoming a writer. After graduating from Ohio University in 1970 with a degree in English Literature, he entered the field of retail management and for the next 30 years managed many stores in the Detroit, Michigan area. In 1996 with a lifelong dream of being a writer, Scott started writing short stories. Within the next two years, he had four stories published. He soon got the idea that he’d like to try his hand at writing a novel, and in 2003 his first novel, All Those Years Ago, was published. Since then, he has enjoyed seeing 7 more novels published. He and his wife, Deborah, live in Mansfield, Ohio. He is retired now and spends nearly all his free time at the keyboard.
