About This Book
A BOOK OF ACTION, SADNESS, ROMANCE AND ALOT OF QUIRK. White Dan for 200 is bold and unflinching. This provocative fictional memoir explores the legacy of war and the generational wreckage it leaves behind while honoring the humanity of all. THE PROTAGONIST IS A WAR HERO, BUT THE HERO? THE SURPRISING CLIMAX OF THE BOOK REVEALS A NEW KIND OF HERO, ONE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY; A HERO/HEROINE INFLUENCER; A NEW CHALLENGE FOR ALL THE BOOMERS WHO MEET THEM. Dan Kellar, a nearly 100-year-old veteran of three wars, living in a small town Texas 'old folks' home, revisits his past in order to convince God that he must be allowed into heaven and soon, In the end Dan is a mostly unreliable narrator of his own story. What emerges is a stark portrait of a man shaped by a rigid, unquestioned vision of American manhood-one that bred emotional violence, controlling behavior, and blind nationalism, impacting not just his family, but his entire community. Will God be put into His place by an entitled, cantankerous old, white American veteran at the end of his life? Well, God has other plans. And it includes encountering veterans new and old, a daughter with her own sad story, the ghosts of his past and of the town's past, and a wonderful new hero of a different sort - one for modern times.
