Against insurmountable odds, he overcomes the heartbreak of tragedy and moves forward in a direction that surprises even those closest to him. As Karl moves from farmer to doctor to husband and father, he must endure tragedies and betrayals, all while coping with the losses of friends and family sent to war. Now only time will tell if Karl can successfully navigate through these battles as he faces life’s most difficult and painful challenges during the twentieth century.The Wooden Bench is the inspiring story of one man’s journey to find happiness as life leads him in a direction he never imagined.
