Here Come the Gypsies

About the Book

The story begins with the author and his wife about to be robbed by a band of roving gypsy girls. During the attempted heist, he not only comes up with a plan to fend off the thieves but, during those few seconds, reviews his life in order to examine why he has things that others now wish to steal. In the book, the reader writes about his childhood, his school days, the military, and his life in Pennsylvania and New York City. Later, he travels across the vast Pacific Ocean to Okinawa, where he finds romance. As the story progresses, the adventures of living and working in such exotic places as Singapore, California, Portugal, Sicily, Italy, Turkey, Sardinia, and finally, back to Okinawa become the heart of the story.
