"Pray" is out today!


             After the attack on Pearl Harbor, eighteen year old Robert Stuart had a decision to make: keep working at the steel mill in Warren, Ohio, or volunteer to serve his country.  Stuart’s father had served in the first World War, and service was in his blood, so he enlisted in the Marines.

            Ann Davis had a decision of her own to make.  The girls in her high school were going to send letters to alumni who were going off to war.  She looked at the list of soldiers and saw a familiar name: Robert Stuart.

            The letters Ann sent would mark the beginning of a relationship that would span sixty years, two marriages, two children, and three wars.

            Over half a century after those first letters were sent, the Stuarts’ grandson, Kyle, began chronicling their life together.  He would discover pieces of a family history that only he dug deep enough to learn.  But in the back of his mind, one concern lingered: the story of a person’s life can only have one ending, and his grandfather’s health was deteriorating.

            “I Pray Hardest When I’m Being Shot At” is a true story of love and war.  It’s the story of three generations and two romances, one of sixty years, the other of just a few months.  “Pray” deals with one generation trying to connect with another and how it affected both of them.

"I Pray Hardest When I'm Being Shot At" is available everywhere today!
