"""This dramatic story brings to life the closing days of World War II. John Wood captures the courage, faith, and honor of average citizens - American and Japanese - amidst the chaos and brutality of war."" - Garland Tucker, Author, The High Tide of American Conservatism ""John Wood has created a wonderful story which incorporates real history with romantic fiction in such a way to grab the reader immediately. It's a truly beautiful story of World War II, incorporating ethic, racial, and religious themes, while drawing the reader to the main premise of humanity, we are all the same and made in the image of God. John is blessed with a natural storytelling style in which his words roll over the pages carrying the reader to natural curiosity and wonder. It's a magnificent book and I highly encourage the reader to take to heart the underlying promise that love perseveres over everything else. As Paul wrote in First Corinthians, 'So now faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.'"" - Colonel Gary I. Gresh, US Army Retired, Author, Vietnam Soldier ""Captivating, heart-rending, riveting, spiritual are but a few words to describe this outstanding book - Scattered Blossoms ! Through poignant creativity, John Wood built a transformative bridge between fiction and reality. As a boy during WWII, a combat veteran of Vietnam, and a 'born again' Christian, I deeply appreciate this wonderful gift."" - Colonel Richard Toliver, USAF Retired, Author, Uncaged Eagle"

Author Information

"John I. Wood is a retired career Army officer who served four years in Asia. He commanded at company, battalion, and brigade level. A graduate of the U. S. Army War College, he also served on the school's faculty before retirement. He and his wife Randi served together as missionaries in The Anglican Diocese of Egypt. They live in North Carolina. North Carolina native Abby Black began writing novels at the age of 8, stirred by her initiative to fill a gap to become a solution for other bookworms like herself who were looking for a greater variety of wholesome and exciting stories. The more Abby wrote, the deeper her uncompromising focus became to write narratives that captured and challenged the current state of the culture and ideologies around her, chronicling characters who rose above their circumstances while exemplifying wisdom, honor, and compassion.As a young teen, a selection of Abby's prose and short stories were chosen to be published in an anthology at North Carolina State University. At the age of 16, she published the first installment of ""The Antediluvians"" to a worldwide audience. Each 500+ paged, illustrated dinosaur-themed novel in the trilogy is a thought provoking, wholesome, science-fiction-meets-action story, purposed to challenge her generation to break the surface of mediocrity to be a stalwart and positive influence. The much awaited 2nd novel in the series, ""The Antediluvians II - Multiple Targets"" was released in the summer of 2019. The third and final novel in ""The Antediluvians"" trilogy is scheduled to be released in early 2023. ""The Antediluvians"" can be found in her local public library system, and is available in paperback, eBook, and iBook, wherever books are sold."
