A Road To Somewhere

A Road to Somewhere by Ralph Lindemann follows Robb Langmann from his once peaceful youth in rural Illinois to his ultimate day of decision in the highlands near Bogotá, Colombia years later. But his road of life is not without traumatic and lasting personal sacrifice as he is first forced to leave behind his high school sweetheart and later his boyhood friend Dan Crupp. Diligently he pushes forward into adulthood overcoming many obstacles, including the tragic, bittersweet loss of Jeannie, his one true love. That loss ultimately sends him traveling to foreign lands to forget. But unexpectedly his new career path causes him to become involved with the C.I.A. Paranoia and concern soon turn into desperation, forcing him to sever his ties and take one last impulsive action in attempt to find a more peaceful final road. Written with poignant prose and the sweet sadness of real life, A Road to Somewhere is a slice of Americana and a dramatic tale of how an uprooted life can find root again.

4A Road To Somewhere  Feb 20, 2009
By Scott Benson
From a childhood and youth in small town Ottawa, Illinois, the author has crafted an evocative tale of growing up in mid-America of the 1940's and 50's. From a life that began in a compact world with few risks, the book's main character, Robb Langmann, becomes a globe trotting representative of an American chemical company, with business contacts in south America and the far east, including communist China just after it began seeking American technical help. And when the CIA asks Langmann to report back to them after these trips, his life becomes filled with fear and paranoia, which lead him, again, down A Road To Somewhere.
