Over the Dam

"Over the Dam" is an insightful novel about a man seeking to escape from his shadowy, but ethical, past. Set mostly in Wisconsin, its focus is the small town of Beaver Dam, where he meets a woman who also is fleeing her past.

This is Chuck Oestreich’s third novel. But this one takes the reader to his home town of Beaver Dam. He left it to go to college, and when he met and married an Illinois girl, he left Wisconsin for good. Now he returns with a moving story set in the aftermath of WW11.
