A Good Medicine Story
Part of the A Well-Lived Life universe
The story of Michael Peter Loucks, A faithful, Russian Orthodox teenager, who has lived his entire life in small-town Ohio. It takes place in the same universe as my series 'A Well-Lived Life'. The story develops slowly. Testimonials: - One of the most accurate depictions of early-1980s rural southern Ohio I have encountered in historical fiction. - Overall, the novel is highly authentic historical fiction, with exceptional period detail that feels lived-in rather than researched. / (Reviews)

Although starting in 1946 the bulk of the story takes place in 1960s England. It has a military background and tells of the joy and vicissitudes of a privileged couple's romance in England and Libya. A box of tissues would be a handy aid to the reader. / (Reviews)
