Wide Place in the Road In a small settlement along the "Grapevine Road" in California's Tehachappi Mountains, emotions sizzle when beautiful Hallie Lamont skinny dips with country boy Jessie Rascoe in a cattle watering trough. But the dark eyed Maria Hunter captures his heart after he saves her life in the heart warming love story about maturing youth during the Great Depression and World War Two. Growing up on the "Grapevine Road" and serving as a P-38 combat fighter pilot with the famous "Flying Knights" in WWII, veteran author Richard C. Kirkland uses first hand experiences in writing ths historical epic based on a true story that takes place during on of the most challenging periods of American History. Protagonist Jessie Rascoe and his friends are Boy Scouts, have a secret cave and attend a one room school. When "Grapes of Wrath" migrants abandon their old cars, the Grapevine boys repair them and rollick over the mountainside. Discovering girls brings new interests and complications. Then everything changes on December 7, 1941. Jessie and friends go to war. Hallie becomes a "WASP" pilot and Maria a "Rosie the Riveter." P-38 fighter pilot Jessie Rasco excels in the Pacific and is decorated by President Roosevelt. On leave, emotions skyrocket when he visits Hallie and Maria. Returning to the war Jessie is shot down into the New Guinea jungle and listed as "Missing in action." Will he come home at war's end? To Maria?... Hallie?... The ending is powerful.
