"1989": Book Three of the Historical Fiction Trilogy "Starlings Peace": "1989: Chain Reaction"

Written as if taken from intimate diaries, 1989: Chain Reaction is an immersive ensemble novel for readers who want to feel the era through unique characters of the time. Five professional families from the United States, East and West Germany, France and Great Britain, live the chaos of 1989. Their experiences are rich with news, music, food, fashion, color and destinations of the era. Against the oncoming collapse of the Soviet Bloc, intelligence and military professionals confront unpredictable missions. Political and financial leaders wrestle with rapidly changing events. Cultural and faith leaders navigate through moral dilemma. Families face illness, loss and difficult decisions. Yet ordinary life persists: people fall in love, marry, travel, share meals, laugh unexpectedly and plan futures they cannot possibly foresee. Through triumph and tragedy, their private lives become inseparable as History unfolds around them. As Cold War barriers fall, people measure their lives by whom they love, whom they lose, what they risk and where they choose to call home.
