OCEANSIDE, Calif., Oct. 29, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author Lorraine St. Martin loves to talk about her father. Not only would she not have existed without him, she learned many valuable lessons from his experience and, most of all, she is grateful to him for the freedom she enjoys having. These are the themes that drive an enduring true story in The Last Man's Club, her new book released through Xlibris.
The Last Man's Club takes a long look back at the life and times of Henry St. Martin. Readers will learn that, during his life, he went through the unfortunate time of fighting many horrendous battles for America with the French in World War I. Everything was difficult for him... an influenza epidemic, getting gassed, being hit by shrapnel and worst of all, becoming shell-shocked. After the Armistice, he went back to farming but was crippled mentally and emotionally by the war. Despite the pains, St. Martin continued to dedicate himself to his family. How did he get over all of it? Read the book to find out.
The Last Man's Club is now available for ordering at your local bookstore and through telephone at (888) 795-4274.
