A Million Tears is a mighty epic, the first of four books chronicling the life of the Griffiths family. A tale of love and hate, murder and suicide, poverty and wealth - this is the story of a family whose devotion for each other helps them to succeed where others fail.

From the hardship and poverty of Wales in 1890 to the optimism and wealth of America, the book describes in vivid detail the family's journey to success. It takes the reader to the exotic corruption of the Caribbean, the brutality of the American west and describes accurately the excitement of the pioneers in the early twentieth century.

 
 


It is 1911 and David Griffiths is in London. He gets caught up in the suffragette movement and falls in love with Emily. Against the backdrop of women's fight for votes and the looming First World War, the Griffithses build a vast, sprawling company encompassing banking, aircraft manufacturing and whisky distilling.

The enmity of a German family follows them tragically throughout this period, leading to murder and revenge. In America Evan is invited to run for President and the family gather round for the most important battle of Evan's life.

TEARS UNTIL DAWN

Never before have the events of the Second World War been captured so vividly. Paul Henke transports his readers straight to this turbulent period of history. From Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain, through to the final invasion, you feel you are actually there, breathing alongside his remarkable characters. This is a tale of betrayal; betrayal of Prisoners of War as they struggle to survive - and betrayal of a nation by its King.

This compelling story of a family at war is told through the eyes of Sir David Griffiths. At the height of his political power he will do whatever it takes to protect those he loves. But will it be enough?

His daughter Susan, the beautiful and tempestuous pilot, is tested to the limits of her endurance. Cousin Alex’s skill in the air is legend – but can he conquer his demons on the ground? And young Richard, defying his family yet desperately needing their help if he is to survive the horrors that await him.

Tears Until Dawn is a rare blend of truth and fiction - a story you will not want to end.
