William, Forth and Back is a new twist on the ageless quest for the fountain of youth. Mr. Anderson at age 60 loses his home to a military error and is changed physically so that not even his own children recognize him. The parallel stories of William, a boy from the hills with amazing musical talent and Mr. Anderson's quest to be recognized by his children come together in a surprising way in the final chapters. The story was written for readers of all ages. There is intentionally no offensive language or innuendo.
