Brackman Ticket: The cost is high, but admission is free

The Brian Jackson Story begins here, in this faith-based historical novel about one man's reluctant journey toward discovery.

When America enters World War II, brash Broadway star Brian "Jack" Jackson enlists in the Navy, leaving the spotlight and his glamorous fiancée behind. Aboard ship, he forms an unlikely friendship with fellow gunner Drew Brackman, a seminary student in civilian life, whose quiet faith challenges everything Jack thought he knew.

Back home, the women in their lives await their return. Jack's fiancée, Loretta, dazzles on magazine covers, while Drew's girl, Dorrie, runs the breakfast counter at a Manhattan five-and-dime. Different realities, one hope: an end to war and the safe return of Jack and Drew.

In the midst of the chaos, Drew Brackman's simple analogy of "The Ticket" provides a glimmer of hope to Jack and others around him.

For readers who love Christian historical fiction with memorable characters, "The Brackman Ticket" is a deeply human story of brotherhood, courage, and the invitation that changes everything. Continue Jack's story in Book 2: "Together For Good" and Book 3: "The Lazarus Road."
