According to the book
description of Waggoners Gap, "it is a spiritual place with unique
natural beauty and breathtaking vistas overlooking the Cumberland Valley near
Carlisle, Pennsylvania. It is also a pivotal locale in the sweeping story of two
disparate families fighting for survival and success in the dark decades
surrounding World War II. The Genero clan is at the heart of the story, which
tracks the trials and travails of mother, father, son, and daughter whose lives
are inevitably affected by a richer and more influential family, the Monarch
clan, who control industry and primary employment for most of the people living
in the shadow of Waggoners Gap. The generational confluence of these players
takes place across a range of time in American history that includes World War
I, the Great Depression and culminates in World War II when the Genero
childrenbrother and sisterboth enlist to support the war effort. During this
time, the lecherous younger Monarch takes over the booming textile business and
secretly begins to siphon off profits while mistreating his employees, including
the Generos. The saga winds from Waggoners Gap through area colleges to Army
training bases, ships at sea, battlefields in Europe and the Pacific, and back
again as truly colorful characters develop and influence each other through the
decades. Through it all, in spite of deadly hardships overseas and dark dealings
on the home front, Waggoners Gap draws the players together and repels them like
a spinning magnet. Waggoners Gap is a compelling read. As a former Cobra pilot,
I especially enjoyed the combat flying sequences in Europe and the Pacific.
