About the Book
From the hills of West Virginia to the islands of the Pacific, and onward to the desert communities of California, Charlie — A Moment in Time traces the life of Charlie Martin and the generations that followed.
Set against the backdrop of American history, the story moves through the Great Depression, World War II, and the postwar expansion west — capturing not only the events of a life, but the spirit of the times in which it was lived.
At its core, this is a story about building — building roads, runways, homes, and family. It is a reflection on how moments, decisions, and quiet acts of determination shape not just one life, but many.
Availability - Charlie — A Moment in Time is currently in production and will be available through Amazon and Ingram Spark.
