Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. Special Edition. Special Edition for Peoples Book Club of Chicago.Covering the well-remembered years of our own times, it tells of Josh Kenyon's childhood, of his marriage, of his work, of his problems and satisfactions as a father. The story, set against the background of a growing, changing Southwest, is an eventful, moving one, for Josh's life had its share of dramatic crises, disappointments, conflicts, surprises, and triumphs. But This, My Brother is more than merely an exciting and quickly-paced tale of outer happenings. It also delves deeply into the web of human relationships, the ties that were woven between Josh and the members of his family, the very special strand which bound Josh to Evart Gray, the boyhood companion who could not be a friend. Beyond even this, it traces the crucial, glowing thread of Josh's secret, lifelong search- and brings him to an inspiring discovery. As Josh grew to manhood, the responsibilities, defeats, and heartaches of life seemed to out weigh the blessings. On one side there was the tender love he shared with his devoted wife Ruthie; there was his fine son Jimmy and his pretty daughter Emmy; and there was his challenging, fascinating work in the oilfields. But on the other side there were the troubles and sorrows- the horror-filled night of the explosion at the plant; the desperate time he almost lost Ruthie; the day he realized he might forfeit his own son. Then, there was the Depression and the weary, frantic search for a job and a home. And there was the problem of his brother Ran. For in the strange way that justice sometimes moves, Ran's fate, however just, became Josh's burden- a burden that almost crushed him until, again by a curious twist of fortune, Josh was freed. Yet the price of freedom was high, perhaps too high. Where is a man to turn when courage fails? Where is a man to find reason and hope? In his darkest hour, Josh Kenyon asked this question- the universal, eternal question of mankind. And he received an answer- an answer as simple as it is profound, as rewarding as it is memorable. For This, My Brother is the story of the days of a man's soul as well as of the days of a man's life. And the fulfillment and happiness that came to Josh Kenyon when at last he found his answer were the spiritual fruits of his growth through the years. Only then, with their ripening, did he succeed in his search. Only then did he recognize his true brother. …
