QUAKER HILL, Conn., Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jeff Turner, a dyed-in-the-wool Connecticut Yankee and military history enthusiast who has authored over twenty academic works and taught for over forty years at Mitchell College in New London, has completed his new book "A Rescued Soul": a timely and deeply human story set against the backdrop of the Great War and the brutal onslaught of the Spanish Flu pandemic that ravaged populations around the globe.
Northern Vermont, 1918. A year like no other ushered in by a brutal cold snap for much of New England, cruel winds in subfreezing temperatures imperiling scanty reserves of fuel. Meanwhile, the Great War raged on and millions of doughboys were answering the call for duty, including droves of underage enlistees. Even worse, a deadlier enemy reached American shores in the form of the Spanish flu. The virus struck fast and violently, some victims dying within hours of their first symptoms while others surviving only a few days. There was no cure.
During this dark and dangerous time, teenage runaway Henry Cameron finds refuge in Vermont as a stable boy for a retired and war-weary cavalry lieutenant. As horses bring ambition and purpose into their lives, the two kindred spirits discover how they're more alike than not, and how their broken souls are mending as they forge a bond with each other. All of this takes time along with the saving grace that only the pure love of horses can provide.
For all who have feared, grieved, or felt alone, this tale of friendship and hope will pull at the heartstrings and arouse emotions long after the book is finished. It will burrow into the lives of those cursed by tragedy and help transport them from collapse to resilience, in the process creating acceptance, forgiveness, and peace.
