About the Book

Victor Vargas is a young boy growing up during the Korean War. He and his brother Grant, aka Bonesy, were sent to live with their grandmother and cousin after their father's plane got shot down during the war, forcing their mother to go to work in the factories. Life without either of their parents is tough for Bonesy and Vic, but their grandmother works hard to raise them well and they have exciting adventures with their friends as they wait for their mom to return. Every day, they look at the star in their window, a symbol of hope that their dad will come back from the war and they can be a family again. Loosely based on the childhood experiences of the author, this heartwarming collection of stories will touch your heart and have you laughing, crying, and shaking your head as you take your journey through this book.
About the Author: Dennis D. Parker was born on July 10, 1937, in Elmira, Michigan, to Joseph and Ruth Parker. He was the oldest of three brothers. He graduated from Mackenzie High School, in Detroit, Michigan, where he participated in track and field, and was a member of the football team. From there, he went on to earn a degree in Engineering and Economics from Wayne State University in Michigan, a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational and Management Development from Rutgers University in New Jersey, and a Master's Degree in Management from Pace University in New York. He was married to his wife, Joy, for 51 years, and was the father of five children and grandfather to seven grandchildren. He passed away on February 2014, at the age of 76, from complications from a neurodegenerative disease that he suffered from called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. He wrote this book over a period of ten years and although he initially wrote it for his family, he always wanted for it to be published, so his family is making that happen.
