Chasing Rainbows: Truth and Taraddidles

by Robert Watkins

If you liked the autobiographical stories of the veterinarian, James Herriot, you will be enticed to follow the path of a young minister launching his career during turmoil of the Viet Nam War and the Civil Rights movement of the mid-1970s. The author weaves humorous and inspirational stories into a Civil War mystery involving Nathan Bedford Forrest and an eccentric recluse. In the midst of the joys and trials of serving a church, the minister must struggle with the dilemma of whether to accept a huge amount of money in gold bars and coins discovered near the battlefield of Johnsonville, Tennessee. The whole mystery climaxes with the opportunity for the minister to undertake a totally new life in Colombia, South America.
