As the Great Depression ends with the coming of WWII, John Adamson enters the United States Army Air Force. When D-day nears, in 1944, he's flying as a crewman on B-17's in England. There, John meets and falls in love with a young English woman. Even as the two of them plan a life together, fate intervenes. Sergeant Adamson will soon be on the warring earth of the European Continent, amid the retreating German Army. As Allied forces move toward Germany, John's strange saga will take him into surprising events among people serving a higher power than he knew existed. After the end of WWII, more unlikely events will shape the life of John Adamson and his family, taking him back to his roots on the plains of Oklahoma. There, as the history of his postwar country unfolds, he will find love and loss. His family will be virtually torn apart as the war in Vietnam rages. At last, as he searches for meaning in a rapidly changing world, John finds himself returning to the past to find the answers he desperately needs before going on with his life. A Promise Lost is the saga of a man, his family, his country, as all move through the pages of history. The Adamson saga has something familiar for all readers, especially those of us who sometimes lose the way and struggle to regain meaning in our lives.
