Contrition

Travel back to an even earlier time, and a simpler place, in the mountains of Utah with the Fratelli brothers, Bill and Hyrum, uncle and father to the familiar maverick character of Brigham Fratelli, pilot of the B-17 featured in In Love and War.

 

It is 1918, and Hyrum Fratelli has found himself about to lead a squad of men over the edge of a trench and into dreaded “No Man’s Land”.  He crosses his arms and lowers his head, praying Mormon-fashion.  The call to arms goes out and he is wounded and while convalescing he meets an Irish widow and her sister.  But he is scheduled once again to go into the trenches.  When he returns home and marries the sister, he must find a way to live a fulfilling lifetime with all the blood on his hands.  (Due out mid-2026)
