No Way to Peace

(Nepperhan Press) This novel follows five women – a refugee, a journalist, a widowed mother, a social worker, and a teacher – living through Argentina’s war of terror during the 1970s. Their stories unfold through the eyes of Stephen, an American banker who has volunteered to stay in Buenos Aires for his company after most foreigners have been evacuated. Stephen agrees to help the CIA stop a group of terrorists from supporting their activities with the ransom money they have collected from kidnappings, but soon meets and falls in love with a young refugee who has fled to Argentina to escape terrorists in her own country. Trying to build a life together, they are endangered by Stephen’s pursuit of the terrorist money and his efforts to help friends targeted by the military government for “subversive” activities. Milton is also the author of the novels All the Flowers and The Admiral’s Daughter .
