What do we really know about the people who came before us?
In Beneath the Surface, the life of Edward William Murrell becomes the doorway into a much larger family story-one shaped by military service, migration, marriage, loss, memory, and the difficult work of separating fact from family legend.
Edward was a United States Navy veteran remembered by his family as a diver, a man with a big smile, and someone whose later work brought him close to death and the official records left behind. But beneath those facts was a husband, father, grandfather, and keeper of names who understood that no document could preserve an entire life.
As the story moves from Kentucky to California, from the Civil War-era service of ancestor William Murrell in the 109th United States Colored Infantry to Edward's own Navy years and family life, generations are linked by questions that records cannot always answer.
Who were they before the paperwork?
What did they carry forward?
What should descendants preserve-and what should remain private?
Blending documented family history with historical fiction, Beneath the Surface explores the space between evidence and memory, between what can be proven and what must be imagined carefully.
At its heart, this is a story about family: the people who leave, the people who stay, the people who hold the line, and the generations who learn that remembering the past matters most when it helps the living move forward.
Remember. Learn. Live.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
