Anyone interested in the 1960s will be fascinated by the lives of Brud and Reggie Hicks, the brothers from Texas, their wives Gwendolyn Adams and Gwendolyn James, both members of historically prominent Boston area families, Sam Davis, the defrocked Methodist minister who joins them at Walden Brook, Leo Dennison, a local gun dealer and Keetsville native who is a former selectman, and Stacy Phelps, owner of the Keetsville general store. Brud, his wife, Gwennie, and Sam are hired to teach at Graham Community College, under the leadership of its president Colonel Walter Chapman Lewis, USMC, Ret., while Reggie pursues the outlaw ways that resulted in his being booted out of the Army after serving time in a military stockade in Germany. Leo rants against change, especially what he calls "that damned innersnake highway and them community colleges in Greenfield and Holyoke and Springfield, to say nothing of right here in Graham, and all them beatniks and Communists, and...all them other outsiders that will ride that damned road right into God's country here." All That Endures is a portrait of a world in transition, one that inevitably leads to today's troubled world. The novel will stir memories of those who lived through the times it recaptures. It recreates for those who came later an exciting, challenging, dangerous and often hilarious era in American life.

Wil Roberts can’t stop telling stories. He admits to that himself. His family will tell you the same. Word is that years ago he began a story to amuse his children, has continued it with his grandchildren, and no doubt will keep on spinning it with his greats and his great-greats. It’s a story without an end.To be truthful, sometimes ALL THAT ENDURES also feels like it will never end. It does, and in a most satisfying way. But getting to the end is not the idea with this hefty novel. It should not be read with that compulsion. This is a book you settle into, watching things develop at their own pace, letting the characters weave in and out, take stage front, exit left, and later return. There’s no hurry. As one character says toward the end: “Things happen and then other things happen to make them happen better.”
The story itself is the reward. But it’s not a case of “then and then and then.” As you read through the years these many pages represent, keep watch for a wonderful unifying thread, a gift to the reader that could only come from a master teller of tales.
Shirley Nelson, co-author of THE RISK OF RETURNING
