Old House On the Island (Second Edition) is a fictional, historical drama set before World War II, and during the Guadalcanal Campaign in World War II. It has a completely re-written story and a different ending from the First Edition. It is an inspirational and exciting book for all ages. Andy Tyndall, a shy teen raised on a country farm, risks disobedience and danger to overcome a dark family secret, find his love and become his own man. He learns the hard way the choices one must make in shaping a life... having to choose between what seems honorable and what one knows is right. He goes away to war and again faces the dilemmas of right and wrong and the shady areas in between. He faces incredible danger aboard the destroyer USS Laffey at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. His ship is sunk and he is captured by the Japanese. He endures torture, escapes into an unforgiving jungle, fights his way back to the farm and faces another heart-rending choice.
