Sangria Sunsets — Edward R. Hackemer

"Sangria Sunsets" is historical fiction that chronicles the years between 1937 through 1955. Colorful, well-developed characters endure personal tragedy, engage in covert espionage, effect personal retribution, commit adultery and discover lasting love. Within the pages, the reader will find mystery, romance and suspense directly linked to the Korean conflict and political upheaval in Latin America and the Caribbean during the Cold War.The author spent six years recounting the history of the Throckmorton family and the events that influenced their lives.He discovered that the actors on life's stage enjoy unscripted roles and are free to rewrite the screenplay and send the story in unknown directions. At any given time, a character may even forget his or her lines and improvise.Throughout the fabric of all families, there are threads that tie everyone together. Occasionally, these connecting fibers are worn threadbare by distance, or so badly blurred by time that they can be difficult to see or touch. Yet, every now and again, these fibers can unexpectedly reappear. Like the filaments running through a spider's web, you are surprised each time you walk into one. They are invisible until reflecting sunlight, shimmering moonlight or the morning dew causes them to glisten.With help from his wife, editor, his readers and every character in the Throckmorton novels, the author has endeavored to illuminate as many silky threads as possible.This is book #6 in the Throckmorton Series, and like all the others it can be enjoyed on a stand-alone basis.
