In Delayed Departure, Tall Paul takes readers on an emotional voyage set in 1918, where the aftermath of the Great War profoundly impacts the lives of those left behind. Wil Drury is eager to return to his home in Wyoming, ready to marry his beloved Carla and start a family. However, the shadow of grief looms large as Wil grapples with the loss of his brother, Tall, who will never come home again.
As Wil navigates the painful journey of mourning, he finds solace in becoming a father. But fate has other plans. Tragedy strikes once more when his young son dies, leaving Wil shattered and alone. In the midst of this turmoil, a boy named Jesse James enters the picture. After losing his mother to illness, Jesse escapes his misery aboard an orphan train in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He is discovered by the sheriff, clutching a knife engraved with Wil’s name—the same knife given to Tall before he went off to war.
When Wil realizes that Jesse is the son of his late brother, he decides to take the boy in as his own, hoping to mend his broken heart. As Jesse grows, he embarks on a coming-of-age journey that leads him into the army, ultimately facing capture by Japanese forces during World War II. In a desperate bid for revenge against an enemy commander, Jesse unwittingly places the United States on the brink of international crisis, further entwining their fates.
Delayed Departure weaves a gripping narrative inspired by true events, exploring themes of love, loss, and the power of promises. This historical tale captures the resilience of the human spirit and the profound connections that shape our destinies.
Join Wil and Jesse on their intertwining journeys as they navigate the complexities of life, love, and sacrifice in a world forever altered by war.
