Idaho Trip Book 2/Sequel- Bittersweet Reunions

 Hello all readers!   I am back in the land of Acres of Bitterness once again.  I am getting fully charged for Book 2 - Bittersweet Reunions!  The setting will remain the same and the characters too.  However, you can view it as a sequel only if you want to.  I have given a very good overview to get you intrigued with Bittersweet Reunions.  I think you will find it entertaining, dramatic, interesting & informative.  The book is a work of fiction mostly, but there are historical portions also which I will clearly identify as such.

My characters embark on some uprooting scenes where family lives are at stake and threaten to get worse if drastic measures aren't taken.  I will keep you updated.  But please give Acres of Bitterness a chance first, please.

OBSESSIONS


I know it has been difficult for my family to understand my obsession to have knowledge of my history and that of my family to pass on to them and to their children.  But ultimately, family is who you are made of, your mental capacities, your body chemistry, your emotional distresses your health and soul all stems partially from your ancestry.   They do not know the extent of things that I hope to learn by my return trip to my homeland, I have kept them in the dark about that.  I have never shared with them any of my inklings of a secret  life, one that occurred before they were born and that I have held in my mind and in my heart for thirty years.  A life that I do not know for sure exists in the physical being or just in my mental being, one that I myself know nothing about.  Except for flashes of faces and places and nightmares of the same, all I really have is heartache and feeling of something vastly significant that was lost to me.
