Lake of Three Sorrows A warm spiritually uplifting story of courage, commitment, and sacrifice. This is the story of Dale Cooper, a battle-weary American soldier who served in two world wars. It was a unique time in our history when ordinary citizen-soldiers rose to challenge the strongest war-making-machines in history. Already traumatized by the death and destruction of the sordid trench fighting in France, Dale is faced with the death of his mother and father from the flu epidemic, and the betrayal of his fianc e. Desperate for emotional healing, he seeks the sanctuary of a log cabin on a lonely lake in Maine. The diversion of a forestry project in the northern Canadian wilderness, and another betrayal drove him to the edge of sanity. His epic struggle for peace of mind is a tribute to the human spirit. This manuscript is respectfully dedicated to the memory of those extraordinary veterans whose valor and virtues forever defined the veterans of World War I and II.
