A Soldiers Tale In Black and White

Set between 1918-1986, this is a work of a German immigrant daughter's first hand account of her African-American solider father. This book brings you on William Shepherd's incredible multi-decade journey through a segregated American Army, wars, depression, and alcoholism that lead to a shocking conclusion. All seen through the eyes of a loving daughter, this is a book about the notions of true unconditional love, addiction, accomplishment, life and passion in foreign lands, and the human condition. Ultimately, this work becomes a study of how time continues to move forward, fostering change, and yet somehow, things remaining the same.
