A haunting account of two brothers’ struggle for survival amid chaos…
Authors Glenn Porter and Steven W Porter, the real-life siblings, narrate their own story of love, brutality, and shattered dreams in this memoir. The Porter brothers, Glenn and Steven, were in their prime with endless opportunities ahead. They landed jobs at a prestigious family-run business in Breslow, Maine, where they caught the eye of the owners’ daughters. The brothers pursued the sisters relentlessly with hopes of marriage. But their pursuit was cut short when they abruptly quit and became targets of hatred. The sisters saw them as cowards chasing after wealth without taking on the burden of marriage, while their vengeful parents launched a manhunt to bring these “runners” to justice. The word spread throughout Maine, forcing the brothers to fight for their lives amidst a storm of love, betrayal, and deadly consequences. A gripping tale of real-life drama, this non-fiction book blurs the lines between thriller and memoir. With elements of violence, betrayal, extortion, blackmail, and broken dreams, the story unfolds in a heartbreaking way. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of poor communication and outside interference in relationships. Though at times the prose may feel sub-standard, the intimate first-person narrative is raw and authentic. Through the authors’ words, readers will experience the intense emotions and inner turmoil of two men on the run for their lives. The universal themes of longing for independence and finding one’s true identity make this a compelling read for all.
