Experience a coming-of-age journey of tenacity and faith.
Growing up amidst the colorful but tumultuous backdrop of the 1970s through early 1990s, author Dan Biegler takes readers on the emotionally raw, transformative journey he navigated as a youth. "For fear or for spite," Dan winsomely writes, he learned to chase life and his dreams in ways he once never thought possible: Through Fields and Fire.
Dan candidly relates not a hero story but a human story--from his younger days when the labels of "bully magnet" and "underachiever" dogged his trail . . . to his launch from the sidelines of life into the unexpected, in-your-face trials-by-fire of boot camp as a US Marine . . . to his soul-searing deployment across the globe to serve on the battlefields of Operation Desert Storm . . . to the realization he could dare to step out, take risks, and grow into his best strength.
Through it all, Dan inspires readers who see themselves on a similar "dark horse journey," those who hope-against-all-hope to overcome their biggest obstacles. He spurs on those who wish to learn, as he did, that chasing life with persistence and faith can make all the difference--and lead to life's most amazing discoveries.
