At heart, this is a love story on multiple levels: love of a man
for the woman he envisioned years before they met, for dangerous
exciting work, and for the unique and mysterious wonders of past
history. It is a tale of love toppled and then resurrected, told
symbolically and literally through the true narrative of a near
impossible rebuilding of fallen radio towers. A handsome, young
tower engineer takes on the impossible task -- rebuild WWII-era,
unique radio towers without blueprints. In recounting his work in
the most dangerous job on earth, a tantalizing WWII mystery of an
unusual rotating aircraft beacon is uncovered. Perched for decades
atop a famous radio station, no one knows why it is there. Unsolved
for seventy years, with scant records to pursue, it seems unlikely
anyone will ever decipher the truth. Following whispering clues
from a distant past, a little known history of aviation, WWII
flight navigation, and the role of the iconic towers in our
country's history unfolds. In the process, the shroud obscuring the
origins and purpose of the mysterious beacon is lifted. Parts love
story, history, mystery, and biography, this amazing story of
faith, danger, and passion will have you cheering by its startling
conclusion.
