A World War II Pilot wagers love, family and honor - Forcing the Hand of God
It is the late 30s and Fighter Pilot Major Rodger Brown of the Flying Tigers is deep in the thick of World War II. Back home, his pregnant wife , long time friend, parents and younger sisters anxiously await his return. Torn between his obligations to his country and family, Roger is a man tormented by the realization that he prefers battle in the air than the drudgery or everyday life on the ground.

Forcing The Hand of God evokes a time (World War II) when men and women found the courage to do the necessary, the objectionable and even the unthinkable to defend their lives and preserve the essential fabric of this country. It is also a timeless story of self realization and the internal and external conflicts that are part of life for a military professional and the family and friends who love him/her.

REVIEWS

  • "The author does an amazing job of intertwining love and longing with family complexities into a compelling tale of a fighter pilot and the internal decisions he must make for himself and others. This novel explores the complexity of human behavior and relationships in all their various forms and shows the reader how things are never as clear as we might think. It was hard to put down."

      • J. Wilson


  • "Within the pages of Forcing the Hand of God, you will enter as a silent visitor among the private lives of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times. Where love and desire compete with duty and honor, you become a witness to the intense passion for life that only appears when death threatens. Jacquie Ream weaves her web of words that will entangle every emotion that drives our need to embrace love and to exude anger. I emerged with a greater sense of appreciation for life's gifts as well as its trials."
