The only thing I know for sure is that the apple pie in my fridge is going to feel pain. Just a little pain at first while I reach for sandwich fixings, but can’t help myself and take a little nibble. Through-out the day the pie will learn that every time the light turns on, things will get…uncomfortable for it. It will seek the dark, but only find me smiling at it and giving it pinchy fingers while snapping my teeth. I will feel no sympathy for it. Pie will soon realize the dark was never it’s savior, but rather it’s demise. For when the night sky, filled with stars guides me to it (and with a little help from the kitchen light), the last thing it will see is the flash of silver and the words….. J.A. Henckels.

But the building blocks aren’t standard issue: widowed at thirty-nine… betrayed by her late husband… mother of teenaged twins… finances in shambles… living with her eighty-year-old grandmother… still attracted to her teenage crush Brash deCordova, who just happens to be the Chief of Police in The Sisters… embroiled in yet another murder mystery… How will she ever get all the blocks assembled and stacked one upon another, in order to build a future for herself and her children? Madison’s newest client at In a Pinch Temp Service is a suspicious wife, up against a formidable foe — the lovely Caress Ellingsworth, former soap opera queen. When the star is murdered and Madison is eyewitness to the deed, she wonders if the shadowed person she saw commit the crime might really be her client. Now Madison is torn between uncovering the truth and keeping her customer’s name off the suspect list. Caress is not the only star in town these days. With a little help from Granny Bert and Madison’s best friend Genesis, the popular television show Home Again arrives, with some crazy notion about remodeling the Big House for Maddy and her twins. The problem is, Madison can’t afford to buy the house, much less pay to have it renovated.

Carried on by the wave of hope, expectation and patriotism he signs up for the army to serve his nation as everyone in his generation is expected to do. However the brutality of training sets him up for the nightmare he is about to face in the mud and extreme horror of the trenches of the Western Front.

But the war is never far away, one by one they fall, succuming to the sheer barbarism of industrial warfare. With each death Anton mourns and a little piece of him dies in this most unemotional of conflicts yet he is trapped, trapped here waiting for his own turn to come. But it never comes, just more death, more suffering all around him, the smell of putrid corpses, the sound of exploding shells, the sights of his comrades gunned down by unrelenting machine gun fire. He is trapped in an utter nightmare, one where he never thought himself nor anyone else can endure. They never told him that war was like this. By the end he is still alive but alone. Friends dead, just survivors and hollowed from their experience. He returns home a deeply scarred man in a deeply embittered nation that feels aggrieved at the last four years. Anton too has died emotionally just like everyone else. He is one of a wounded generation that can see no future, his life, their life all criminally destroyed by the great tragedy that is the First World War.
