Patrick Ryan's novel Buckeye explores historical romance

Patrick Ryan’s novel, Buckeye, is a historical romance set in the American provinces during the end of World War II. The narrative is anchored by the events of May 1945, specifically the radio announcement of the German surrender by President Truman.

The story follows two outsiders: Cal Jenkins, a man with a physical disability that rendered him unfit for military service following the attack on Pearl Harbor, and Margaret Salt, a woman who grew up in the orphanage system and keeps her past a secret. Their lives intersect amidst the social upheaval and celebrations following the war's conclusion.
