This novel is a sequel to D.A. Roelofs first novel A Long Tall Road" which relates the story of a boy who grows up in Minnesota and has many escapades across the Midwest from the Dakotas to Montana, and then finds himself on a plane to the Korean War.

Two Roads from Yesterday depicts Lonnies efforts to make the transition from the military to civilian life. There are humorous (such as when the macho Lonnie has to take a dance class to graduate and painful times (the loss of his adopted son) as he tries to establish a career, marry and find out about his past -- a past that is filled with savagery and brutality.

As the story of Lonnies ancestry is revealed, a woman whom Lonnie loved and lost before the Korean War returns and this leads to a stunning revelation from his past that tragically impacts Lonnie and his family.
