A Private Heaven
A Private Heaven is an adventure-filled drama based on a true story. Like Norman Maclean's A River Runs Through It, this is the story of two brothers as opposite as Cain and Abel. When Dave, the impulsive, younger brother completes his tour of duty in Vietnam, he moves his young family to Newfoundland, where he embarks on a challenging, often dangerous career as a helicopter pilot. Dave's older brother, a six-foot-four, muscle-bound convict, has Hollywood good looks, a charming smile, and a serious penchant for violence.
With the stunningly beautiful island of Newfoundland as one backdrop and the Oklahoma State Penitentiary as the other, A Private Heaven is brimming with helicopters, rescues, icebergs, poachers, a prison rodeo, and even a prime minister's wife. Dave quickly learns the harsh realities of bush flying and wonders what will explode first-his fragile marriage or his beat-up, antique helicopter.
West of Alva
WEST OF ALVA follows a city boy's excursion into the farmland of Oklahoma in 1961, where, twenty years before, Alva, Oklahoma, became the largest Nazi Prisoner of War Camp in the United States. It was known as Camp Alva. Fifteen-year-old Matt has never driven a tractor, rode a horse, or even stepped foot on a farm. When he gets off a Greyhound bus from Tulsa and meets his new boss-a poor, alcoholic wheat farmer, it's easy to understand why he is homesick. And even easier to understand why Matt is suspicious as he is led to the attic the first night. The little attic where he is to sleep across the room from the old farmer.
Matt slowly faces the enormous challenges of his summer job while he puts together bits and pieces of truth about the farmer's downfall. Eventually, though, Matt needs some serious help, so he turns to his new friends: Carol, a beautiful farm girl, and Sam, a young, thoughtful, African-American boy.
Before they harvest the wheat and all the money goes into the bank, Matt must convince the troubled farmer to stay sober while he and his friends unravel the hidden connection between Camp Alva and a dangerous plot to terrorize the farmer and take over his farm.
