Live with Delbert Pillage through the torment of a bullied

emotions, even heart-wrenching at times, Delbert and Sylvia will have you
pulling for them to the very end. And along the way, see life on a small Canadian island in
the 1950's and gain a semi-historical view of the Avro Arrow program, whose
cancellation decimated a strong Canadian aviation industry.

I worked with the author years ago and know his engineering expertise first hand. This knowledge is a very important part of the book. He has developed really likeable characters and combined a love story with a credible engineering project that Delbert worked at UBC followed by his flight training and test pilot experience on the Arrow. Having had a career in aerospace both as a pilot and engineer, I really enjoyed the book and also recommend the second book in the series which has also has a great message.Product details

Two Loves Lost edition by Sandy Graham Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Full disclosure I received a free copy of this novel as part of a Goodreads Giveaway.
I do not often find books with characters I enjoy getting to know as much as I enjoyed Delbert Pillage. From the time the novel introduces him as a shy, harassed genius of a child - he touched my heart. I told the author that I had received the book but I would not be able to read it this month as I will be busy. But I made the mistake of reading the first chapter. I often read a chapter to decide if a book is worth keeping around, and then put the book aside for later. There was no setting it aside. Sandy Graham has a simple and direct voice. He often tells scenes of great trauma or emotion in a few short lines of print. But simple does not apply to the characters he creates. In simple language he introduces people of depth and complexity and reality.
Delbert Pillage is not only a bullied child, he is strong and brilliant and determined and caring. He does everything better and knows more than anyone else but he isn't simply a comic book hero with a superpower. He is vulnerable and insecure and wonderful. I can't think exactly why he reminds me of Forest Gump but there is a similar feeling.
The love of his life, the parents he must deal with, the mentor and the villain are less fully realized characters but provide believable interactions for the backdrop of this story that goes beyond love story into history and aviation and delight.
Highly reccomend this book. In fact I suspect I have to read the sequel. And I better not read the first chapter before I get to the essential jobs in my own life.
This is a great read. From the start, I was drawn into Delbert's world. It is a real treat to grow up with him, experiencing life in a small island community and as someone with such a brilliant mind. There are so many aspects of this book to enjoy...learning about the history of Canadian aviation and the Avro Arrow, insight into engineering and the advancement of technology, what it is like to be a pilot!
Those are interesting details within an incredibly touching, and sometimes heartbreaking, story about a boy growing up and the loves of his life. What impresses me most about this story are the emotions it evokes. I felt such an attachment to the characters in this book, not just Delbert but his family, love, and mentors. I admit I was brought to tears more than once.
When I first started this book I thought Oh No I'm Not going to like this book, but after I got into it
I couldn't put it down. I walked around the house saying I would just read 1 more chapter and then put it
down but I couldn't put it down. In fact one night I got up in the middle of the night to see what was going
to happen next and read 2 more chapters.
I'm not real big on love stories but I loved this book. I am a big Avro Arrow fan and its obvious the author
knows this subject well.
I really hope the author writes a follow up Novel on the Arrow that got away and I will be the first one to
purchase a copy and get an update on Delbert & Sylvia,
I rate this book with 2 thumbs UP.
Sandy this is the first time I have ever written a review on any book

Very heart warming story. Keeps you engaged till the end! Would recommend it highly for a good read. Hope you enjoy
