Description: Untangling the Shadows by Charles R. Hale Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description What begins as a quest to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of an infant becomes a gripping odyssey. Immersing himself in faded photos, newspaper articles, dusty basements and fragments of his own memory, Charles Hale summons the voices from the past and seeks to discover how his ancestors lived. Traversing landscapes, beginning at the burial site of a baby, to a butchers shop in Ireland, to a tapestry of tenements, bustling streets, and ballfields in the heart of New York City, Hale asks, Can we navigate the hidden recesses of history, untangling the shadows that shroud the past? Weaving together a tapestry of stories, a realization emerges-our narratives shape our very existence, influencing how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. Examining both physical and personal terrains, Hale embarks on an exploration of family, grief, meaning and purpose, infusing his journey with intense self-reflection. Readers will be inspired to embrace the transformative power of family history, the interconnectedness of the human experience and become the torchbearer of their own ancestral tales.----"A must for anyone interested in history, family and the thrill of searching through archives, graveyards and ones own heart for the gentle shades of those loved and lost." --Verbena "Ben" Pastor author of Lumen"Every page of this book shines with compassion and truth telling.
