From
the Dust Jacket --
King of the Forest is a true
story about a little sister’s unconditional love for her big brother; a
love so strong that it lasts forever. Based on a physical connectedness
rooted in childhood roughhousing—touch football games, wrestling and
boxing, this brother and sister nurtured a bond unlike others one may
know.
Meet Ted
Clark who allowed his kid sister into his male world and discover how
his generosity of spirit was repaid in a way neither could ever have
expected. Though their teen years were filled with sharing the sweetness
of first loves and secret exchanges, as adults, months went by when they
didn’t see or talk to one another. Yet, the separation of time or
distance didn’t matter. They knew if needed, the other would be there
for them. So, when Teddy’s little sister gets the call to donate her
stem cells, the only answer is “Yes.”
Through
flashbacks of a different era the reader rides switchback turns from
past to present. For every memory of the past, Lucinda shares an equal
and opposite memory of the present. These memories weave the tale of two
siblings raised in the ‘70’s’ who come face to face with a medical
trauma that touches millions of families like the Clarks and offers hope
and profound healing to readers who find themselves in a similar
situation with a loved one.
