Title: The Bahshert of South Delancey PlaceAuthor(s) Helene Parris
Published by: Blue Iris Publishing
A quintessential town’s fall from grace. A family in strife bound by faith and resilience. An inglorious return from a seditious war, whose shrouded secrets take on a life of their own. Of those who returned and those who did not. The before and the after of wars that consumed the lives of so many innocents. And one woman’s personal battle to defy the odds, proffer hope to many, and embrace life. A novel of tribute to the fallen, the forgotten, and to all those who overcome, In Silent Triumph.
On a sweltering summer’s day, a man of great faith and observance, climbs under the belly of a time-worn but steady jalopy, secures the over-fatigued muffler with a rope, and readies his family for a journey of great uncertainty. With a discerning wife by his side and two young children huddled together in the rumble seat, they set off along the non-descript back roads that will lead them from one unfamiliar junction to yet another. With the soft summer breeze their singular illusory navigational instrument, all that follows will be left to providence.
The year was 1949. And over the subsequent decades, every aspect of each of their lives becomes an irrefutable test of human resolve. And as a war of contempt escalates, bearing profound loss, purpose and spirit lamentably wane. Secrets long-fastened by threads of silence brace for reckoning. While a once burgeoning resort town bears witness to its own oppressive decline, the ‘American Dream’ for the ever-tenacious effects a somewhat fragile and imprudent cruel hoax.
Blending history with personal ordeal, the author takes us from the loss of innocence along a path of vulnerability, loss and untold challenges impugned. As Depression’s artful deception, and Cancer’s devious and callous ruse threaten her very existence, she battles both to win the war. With total candor, unyielding faith, and an innate sense-of-humor, together with the author, the reader climbs the virtual lifeline, ultimately enlightened and consummately uplifted.
