William D. Mecham, a U.S. Navy veteran who traveled extensively and has eclectic interests, has completed his new book, "Hearts of the Children": a captivating tale of self-discovery.

Mecham shares, "Jerry Tanner finds himself naked and alone in the wilderness of Massachusetts Bay Colony. After receiving aid from Matthew, a young man his own age, he continues a journey of discovery to find out not only about his family but also about himself and a young woman named Rebecca. In his travels, Jerry is assisted by Matthew's family and two college professors—one sparking the desire for his quest and the other helping facilitate his research. Is Jerry capable of finding the truth and steering clear of the hysteria gripping 1690s Salem? Is he willing to accept an offer of timeless love?"

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, William D. Mecham's new book displays the transformation of a man from the lost soul he was through his quest to facilitate research and uncover the truth.

Readers can purchase "Hearts of the Children" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
