Bloomfield, Missouri - The Stars & Stripes Museum will present author John Davis on Monday, August 27th at 6:30 p.m.
Featuring his new book, "Around the Corner". It is from a perspective of a past counter-intelligence officer and linguist of the U.S. Army. John's collection of stories invites readers to open their hearts and minds to a world often unseen, unknown, forgotten, or disregarded.
In his new book, John skillfully guides the audience around corners, and challenges us to think about the many important issues affecting our lives today. Some are formidable and stirring, but he offers hope to those traveling with him.
"What is around the corner cannot be ignored. For if we don’t turn the corner, acknowledge what is there, and try to learn from it, the consequences of slinking away will only come around to us."
