Historical Novel Showcases the Bravery of a local soldier in WWII
Author Ron Hoover brings to life the untold stories of his highly decorated father who fought in WWII
OSCEOLA MILLS, PA. – Based on the actual experiences of a local soldier during World War II, KICKER features the stories of those who fought in the China, Burma and India Theatre, also known as CBI. This book showcases one of the most unheard of forces that fought in conjunction with British and Chinese Allied air and land forces during the Second World War.
Compelling, insightful and moving, this book tells the story of an Osceola Mills family caught in the throes of war. It pays tribute to the bravery of a family with a 165 year tradition of service to their country. It reenacts the understated heroism of valiant men who were sent fourteen thousand miles from their homeland to battle the harsh elements of nature and the life-threatening attacks of hostile enemy forces. In the hopes of reminiscing his family’s life in WWII, Ron writes this historical novel to bring to light the significant efforts of veterans and families whose struggles may not have been recognized. The author’s father was one of those veterans. In his effort to bring life to his father’s accomplishments not only as a soldier, but also as a family man, his story is told in this powerful work that will inevitably stir readers.
KICKER inspires readers to appreciate and honor the courage, strength and endurance of war veterans who risked their lives and the welfare of their families in order to fight for the very freedom that is now being enjoyed by millions.
