'Sailing For Grace' Tests Love, Loyalty, & Letter Of the Law

Fourth Book From Charleston Author Joseph Bauer Is Suspenseful Legal Thriller Dealing With Immigration

Jeff Walker,  Entertainment Writer

As so often nature allows, 'opposites attract'. While Will Goodbow was a successful conservative businessman, his wife Grace was more the progressive activist. Although they had differing points of views regarding politics and societal issues, their unconditional love for one another fueled their long term marriage.

However, Will's adoration for Grace would be tested, when on her deathbed she requests he commit to her latest passion, re-uniting Central American parents with their children in the United States at the El Paso border. Split between conventional wisdom and the legal system, Will is torn to commit to his dying wife's petition. bauer1

The backstory is an ideal narrative in 'Sailing for Grace', the fourth book from author Joseph Bauer, who writes compelling fiction from homes in Charleston, SC and Cleveland OH. Granted Grace's plea is warranted and not unforeseen, Will imagined he would continue to sail on the couple's yacht, where he has fond memories over the years of them falling deeper and deeper in love.

Nevertheless, Will puts his reservations aside, deciding to carry out his promise to champion Grace's cause. Trips to the American border, Minnesota, and Honduras only ignite his interest in this ongoing human rights issue. Taking on federal governments including the FBI, little did Will know his naivete would be putting his own freedom at risk.

Can a seasoned lawyer, flaws in the judicial system, and divine intervention from a nun help Will stay the course, keeping him out of surmounting legal trouble. Bauer's tale may be fictional, but the storyline is as real as it gets, reflecting today's headlines and American's views on morality when it comes to immigration.

'Sailing for Grace' is compelling, thought provoking, and touching, with an underlying theme of love at any cost. Four books in Bauer has become a gifted writer, easily describing for readers the characters, atmosphere and environment depicted in his writings. 

Joseph Bauer's first book 'The Accidental Patriot' (2020) was the first of three books in his patriot series involving a widower, a specially trained protection dog, and their connection to the US military. For more on Bauer visit his website at https://www.josephbauerauthor.com/the-author/
