Produktbeschreibung
Consider this, then, the antithesis of a Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce campaign, an attempt to set the record straight. No judgment, merely a forthright account of what might have been observed during an innocent bystander's own peculiar experience growing up there in the late fifties through the sixties, when it was abandoned for more enlightened climes, i.e., the city." Excerpted from All Is Not Well. All Is Not Well is the story of a town, a sheriff, and a precocious young girl as she matures into womanhood. The girl is a once in a generation athlete, able to beat most of the boys in any sport of their choosing, therefore shunned by the boys who are intimidated by her, and the girls because she is not interested in girly-girl things. She faces a life-altering event at nineteen, and the rest of the story tells how she reacts to this, with the town and the sheriff playing their part in it, and finally finds closure.
Autorenporträt
On April 1, 2023, I found myself in the jury box listening to opening arguments in the Lori Vallow Daybell trial. I did not want to be there and found the whole situation dark and depressing.By the time the trial was over, I had a different point of view. In fact, I was proud of what I was seeing and honored to do my part.I grew up in Northern California back in the '60s and '70s and spent most of my time in logging country fishing the Eel River, surf fishing in the ocean and riding dirt bikes through miles and miles of wilderness.I spent the first five years of my adult life working in a sawmill as a millwright before heading to the city for college where I studied Architectural Engineering. In 1984 I was married while continuing my studies. I had to quit college when our first child was born and started designing and building custom homes.In 2005 I moved myself, my wife and two children to Idaho and continued my business. Shortly after that our foster daughter came into our lives full time.My wife and I now have three adult children and five grandchildren.By the time the trial was over, I knew two things, I was proud of what I saw and I wanted to find some way to have something good come out of it. I decided I would write about it and tell a story of all the good that I saw. My book, Money, Power and Sex, the Lori Vallow Daybell Trial by Juror Number 18, is my humble attempt to tell my story.
