Henry

About the Book

‘Henry’ is a love story. Although, during his amazing life, Henry Bradbury found the love of three women, his attraction to and affection for Rachael, although tragic, was eternal. Having grown up in an orphanage, he struggled to rise above his environment. Joining the Army, he rose, spectacularly, from private to general in a career that spanned three wars and much misfortune. Due to a war injury, the loss of an eye resulted in his being known affectionately as Henry ‘Black Patch’ Bradbury. ‘Patch’, as he was called, through his friendship with an old soldier, became an extremely wealthy man and the desired guest of the elite parties in Washington DC. ‘Henry’ is a beautiful story of good and evil, misfortune and fortune, hate and love, poverty and wealth. You surely will laugh and probably cry, but you will always remember the unusual life of Henry ‘Black Patch’ Bradbury.
