Storm In A Glass by Peter Hyde

All his life Peter Hyde wondered if he could ever escape!

‘Tempest Lad’ was a winner, a loser and a winner again.
Peter Hyde was a winner, a loser and a winner again.
Because Peter grew up in a home with a father who believed a real man was one who drank, he became an alcoholic. Stuck in a fog for many years, Peter gave up hope on ever owning a sober life — until the prospect of his daughter’s birth changed his thinking.
In a desperate attempt to make his existence have meaning, Peter challenged himself to build up a broken-down old-champion horse. Tempest Lad, which cost him a total of $100.
In the horse’s eyes he saw his own desperation and a cry for salvation and a second chance.

“This inspirational story brings a new hope to anyone who’s ever wanted to give up, or for anyone in need of a fresh motivation to take on new challenges.”

“A perception of war through children’s eyes, viewed as something of an exciting yet scary game with a Hollywood ending – unlike any account of the War you’ve read before.”
