At the turn of the 20th century, a handler and his two eldest sons set out for northern Saskatchewan to stake out a homestead away from Chicago pollution. Homesteaders are a hardy breed especially when threatened by the weather, World War I, and the Spanish Flu. Twenty-five years later the grandson of the homesteader ships out to Iwo Jima, navigating the remnants of the Great Depression and World War II.
HANDLER (1798 - 1883) RADIOMAN (1883-1950) FILTRATOR (1950-2076) This three-book set examines that moment in time when a boy's physical surroundings, the community in which he lives, and the unique circumstance of his life triggers a transition to manhood. The trilogy tells of the dreams and sweat, the loves and the losses, the inevitability of growing up, and the responsibilities men embrace in providing for the next generation amidst the rise and fall of the modern era.
