Turkey Mountain Resurrection peeks into the male-mystique. Connor and Milo are raised as brothers in the Arkansas hills. Connor, influenced by a helicopter pilot’s sacrifice that saved his life, after R&R returns to Iraq and becomes a MIA. After graduation Milo sets aside his own dreams, enlists in the Army and through several Indiana Jones-type adventures finds his lifelong friend outside Fallujah. Connor returns home a mental and physical invalid. Milo must give up his own life-plans and basically raise Connor and his toddler-son together from diaper stage, through elementary, high school, dating and marriage or live with the guilt of abandoning his helpless friend. Hard work, brotherhood, knee slapping male-humor and brotherly pathos carry the boys through changes from youth to manhood as they become living testimony that God’s grace and man’s compassion for his fellowman are reward enough to make any life worth living.

Standing before the Hot Springs High senior class, Milo remembered Connor's demand at the train station two weeks earlier. 'sorry to miss your graduation, bud, but you are going to have to represent us both. When I leave this morning, it'll be up to you to take care of Grandma. If Callie needs anything, you try your best to help her out. OK? And, whatever you do, don't tell Grandma that I'll be riding helicopters as gunner. She'll worry herself sick. Write to me everyday—promise?' 'I promise; just be careful—promise?' 'I'll be alright. Love ya, bud.' Connor squeezed him in his famous bear hug. When Connor Flannigan was declared MIA in a warzone, there was never a doubt that his friend and blood-brother, Milo O'Brien, would come to the rescue. Risking life and limb, Milo goes to Iraq to rescue his friend. But when Milo brings Connor home, it quickly becomes apparent that things will never be the same. Milo is faced with the biggest decision of his life: taking the easy route, or digging in and taking care of his friend regardless of the cost. Turkey Mountain Boys: My Brother's Keeperis a novel about hard work, brotherhood, knee-slapping humor, and the brotherly pathos that carry friends and family through the most difficult of life's changes. Author Robert Brock gives an in-depth look into a man's psyche, while also showing a simpler life that is still available to those who take the time to live it.
