Choice of Loves: The Book of Honor

Can a violin made from the remains of a sunken pirate ship reclaim an “unsalvageable” soul?

Mary Anderson has saved herself and waited for the perfect man; a knight in shining armor, Prince Charming and Superman, all wrapped into one handsome package. She is still desperately clinging to her dream when she looks into the eyes of “a drunk, sleazy stranger” and must decide between her lofty principles and the passion of love at first sight.

Steve Miller is a lone, desperate man, living what most would consider a worthless life. Neglected and abused as a child, he grew up to be one of the toughest Marines in Vietnam. Now, haunted by his past, he decides to order a master violin and begin his search for the greatest father in the world.

Additional Author’s Note:
Due to the questions and doubts about a violin maker writing this novel: I really was the 11-year-old boy at the bus stop, there is a 1000 meter shooting range within a stone’s throw of the violin shop where many of the nation’s finest have had “fun” with my 82A1, and I can never thank all the Vietnam War Veterans enough who were willing to be interviewed about their personal experiences during the war. It truly was an honor.
