A family confl ict provides a superb example of right versus wrong, of moral correctness ultimately triumphing over deceit and corruption. Captivating events that appear to bring only persecution and death reveal an unexpected conclusion as Tomas Zurbriggen's son is kidnapped by a Columbian drug cartel. Tomas Zurbriggen, the central character in this story, is charming, contemplative, and hard working, while being deceitfully manipulative. Tomas did everything, both right and wrong, with great zeal a trait that if not harnessed would become his downfall. Tomas had a twin brother, Marcus, who was his polar opposite. Tomas' perpetual desire to succeed and Marcus' irresponsible approach to life clashed as a result of Tomas' scheming tactics. This led to a family estrangement. An exile that continued for many years and wasn't resolved until an international incident brought the family back together. Opening this book will be like looking in a mirror that causes you to stop, evaluate, and redirect your future. It matters not whether you are male or female, young or old. The characters in this story experience many of the same trials that all of us face as we go about our daily life. The beauty of reading about someone else's struggles and their impact is that it gives the opportunity to learn from them without experiencing the results of bad decisions. It is the decisions surrounding these events that contribute to . . . . . the making of a man!
It was July 20, 1969, I was mesmerized by what I was seeing on TV. The space module Eagle had just landed on the moon and Neil Armstrong, one of America’s astronauts was about to be the first man to walk on the moon. My mind was whirling back twenty years to my childhood. It was a time when we lived without electricity or running water. A much simpler time, but one filled with the excitement of experiencing life in “The Olden Days,” yet caught up in the explosive change of the future. Did you ever wonder what was it like in “The Good Ole Days?” Before electricity, shopping malls, computers, and i-pods? You will find out how simple things like bath night, a bag of pretzels, searching the swamp for a Christmas tree, and driving over a wood plank bridge can be an exciting adventure. Each story will draw you in and bring you in touch with a bygone era. Journey with me back to 1945, which, at the age of three, is my earliest memory, and we will go - - - - "From The Outhouse To The Moon.
