Description
As protests turn violent, returning soldiers are greeted with scorn, while their detractors are hailed as heroes. Relationships become passé, and drugs inspire more faith for some than religion. Ben Gold, a Volunteer and Colleen's love, is on a quest through a dangerous rite of passage, but his best efforts come with a price. As Ben attempts to help Harley Mason-an old friend who has just returned from the Army-he is caught in a web of betrayal where honor is traded for nickel-bags. In the midst of misguided choices, Ben must duel against a conspiracy of vengeance-headed by none other than Colleen's father.
Passage is a compelling novel that shares a riveting account of an unforgettable era in American history while paying tribute to those who made their journey from old to new with the best of hopes that they would make it safely to the other side.
