Bound Together - Rated #1 Hot New Release by Amazon

Amazon has rated Jim Caldwell’s latest novel, Bound Together, as the number one rated “New Hot Releases in African dramas and plays.” The South Park independent author explains that it is most likely because one the two main protagonists goes to Rwanda for the Peace Corp. His story in part one of the novel has many descriptions of the land, the customs, taboos and trivia about that section of South Africa. He becomes a victim of the long, historical, racial feud between the Tutsi and Hutu, still remembering the genocide in the early nineties. However, the second part of the new book is centered on the other central character. The back cover summary teases it like this: “A recent college graduate from Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania, Brock Ziegler stood tall in his prime, athletic and muscular. More than any other exercise, he had a passion for running, including that Friday, days before beginning his two year commitment to the Peace Corps in Rwanda. Lovable and rambunctious, Alexander was the bright light in Dana and Quentin’s eyes, their first-born. Feeling safe and secure in his car seat, the fourteen-month-old, with a childish giggle, reached up to his mom for his favorite snack, a cup of Cheerios. On the road that fatal morning, was there some unearthly design that predestined the two to be bound together for life?” When asked to describe the storyline further, Caldwell put it this way: “There are bonds that are natural such as parents and family; bonds that are chosen such as marriage and friends and bonds that life’s traumas create.” Bound Together is available on Amazon at this shortened direct link: https://tinyurl.com/Bound-Together
