Produktinformationen zu „There Is a Way (ePub)“
Roger King and Russell Queen died under mysterious circumstances during a bitter labor dispute between the labor union and the railroad companys scab workers. The King and Queen families each believed that their loved one had been murdered by the other. For that reason, the surviving Kings and Queens vowed to maintain the strikes de facto feud in their Railroad Street neighborhood.
Both Ben Knight and wife Clara lost their health while Vince, the youngest of their ten children was still in diapers. As a consequence the frail sickly child was being raised by siblings. Vinces preteen years were spent in an isolated area of Eastern North Carolina. There, according to Ben, his youngest son had been spoiled, pampered and doted upon almost to the point of ruination. Increasing medical bills and the prospect of better paying jobs caused the family of Knights to move to a tough inner city neighborhood during the winter of 1940. Ben Knight believed that Railroad Streets toughness was exactly what his youngest son needed to shape him into a a real man. Ben rightly predicted that book worms and sissy pants would be hard to find in a tough neighborhood like Railroad Street. That prediction turned out to be correct.
To Ben Knights horror, however, mothers from both sides of the Royal Feud fell in love with his son because he possessed those exact didactic characteristics. Historians claim that during World War II, America became more united than at any other time; before or since. It turned out that a mere mortal held a secret that could turn Railroad Street into an analogous part of Americas most memorable era. However, only divine intervention was going to convince Ben Knight that his son had become the tenth star in his heavenly crown.

Autoren-Porträt von William M Davenport
About The Author William Davenport spent his preteen years in a thinly populated rural area of North Carolina during The Great Depression. Because of failing health, both of Davenports parents became dependents rather than providers while the author was still in diapers. Thus, the onus of supporting Davenports large family of ten children fell upon his older siblings. The author, a frail, sickly child was accordingly sheltered, pampered and doted upon by neighbors, teachers and loving siblings. Those pseudo idyllic years and rustic setting provided the location and characters for Davenports first two novels.
In 1940, the increasing need for medical services and jobs forced the Davenport family to relocate in a tough inner city neighborhood. The thirteen years old author was ill prepared to face the life style awaiting him there. The adventures and misadventures he enjoyed and endured on Railroad Street at the outset of World War II provide the real life setting and characters for There is a Way.
After working for the Atlantic Coast Railroad and serving in the Air Force during the Korean War, the author used the G. I. Bill to pay for his college education. He graduated from East Carolina University in 1963. That same year, Davenport began a career as an aeronautical engineer at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. He retired from NASA in 1995. While writing as a hobby, several of Davenports articles were published in major magazines; including Readers Digest and Guideposts. After retirement, when the author was sure that his family wouldnt starve, he began to write novels. Dragons Die at Dawn published in 2000 was followed by Porters Quest in 2006. As in previous novels, the setting and characters for There is a Way are real. The rest is fiction.
