SUNSET UNDER THE POET?S TREE IBD

Sinopse

I wroteáSunset under the PoetâÇÖs Treeáover a two-year period, overshadowing the eighteen-year war breast cancer waged upon my wife of thirty-four years. She lost her life to it on January 17, 2011. My experience being a registered nurse for forty-two years gave this book a unique perspective. There are two stories in the book which are parallel and congruent.The first story is the biography of Lois A. Anderson beginning around 1959 (before I met her), with vignettes of my childhood, exemplifying the times to which we were both exposed, and ending in early 2011.The second story is fictional. The medieval setting begins the story in well-established villages, founded near an ancient wall of stones. The villages scattered from the northern wastelands to the southern ice lands continue only into the expansive western terrain, ending where the oceans begin. From there, the villages disappear in the bleak, desolate mountains north of the last village of Emansupass, and then into the southern regions of Ross land and beyond. In the Eastern region is a gigantic stone wall running from its origins in the northern ice-covered mountains to its endpoint in the southern ice lands. Behind it, lies a secret, sleeping and hidden for centuries.
