Cam Stearns' life unfolds before you with all the love, hate, and anguish one man can experience, from his undying love for his wife and mistress, to his betrayal by his daughter and trusted life long friend, and the death of his beloved son. The saga of Cam Stearns sweeps you through the political upheavals of the 20th century. A must read for lovers of historical fiction. * * * * * Robert K.
