In Search of Dignity

About the Book

Randy, Obediah, and Barney all endured humiliation and degradation in different parts of two continents, as they spend many years trying to rid themselves of their feelings of shame they had borne in their past. All three of the men are married to women of integrity whose selfless encouragement enlivens them to find a way to live a life of dignity. Destiny intervenes and brings them together as they all seek a common shelter from a South Dakota blizzard.

Each of the three men find themselves willing to discuss with total strangers, as they wait for the terrible blizzard to end, their hopes, ambitions, goals and loves as each receives motivation and inspiration from the others.

Many people feel these men would have surely been signers of Our Declaration of Independence or of the American Constitution if they had only been at the right place at the right time. Instead they were a catalyst to building a new society and culture in a developing country which needed honesty, integrity, and love of liberty for a basis of living.
