Specificatii
For adults, this story will rekindle wonderful memories of their
own youthful mistakes and triumphs along their path to graduation
from high school. Young readers will find it inspirational and
beneficial for when they face similar obstacles during their own
school days, and they will become convinced that dreams can come
true. Seasons of Triumph was authored by Kenny Fields, a former
Navy jet combat pilot and award winning author of the book, The
Rescue of Streetcar 304, which is a true story about his combat
mission during which his plane was shot down over enemy territory.
Kenny is the son of a coal miner and in Seasons of Triumph he tells
how his daily activities and inter-action with coal miners caused
him to choose a military career and trained him for what lay ahead
for him in a jungle within Laos. In doing so, he spins humorous but
sometimes sad tales about life as a youngster and teenager during
the '40s and '50s in scattered coal mining camps in McDowell
County, West Virginia and Breathitt County, Kentucky, with one year
of city life in Lockland, Ohio. The central theme of the story is
Kenny's struggle to fulfill the goals he set for himself to achieve
before graduation from high school. He dreams about becoming a star
on his high school athletic teams and going steady with a girl, but
to fulfill both he has to hurdle over three obstacles. He has to
convince his overly restrictive mother to release her apron like
string like hold on him. He has to overcome his small physique to
play with the big boys. And he has to stop being bashful when
around girls. Still, Kenny doesn't give up. He pursues his goals
with dogged persistence, courage, religious faith, and the support
of family, friends and coaches. And along the way, Kenny's
heartwarming memories of home life, roaming the mountains and
rivers with wild abandon, school activities, competing with
teammates, and dating girls provide a nostalgic look back in time
at the daily lives of his real-life characters. Every reader will
relate to Kenny's triumph over adversity, and sometimes bad
decisions while doing so.
