The Porter brothers, Glenn and Steven, were in their twenties and had their whole lives in front of them.  They found jobs and worked at a business where the wealthy owners had two beautiful daughters. Glenn and Steven pursued these two girls with hopes of marriage. The Porters eventually quit working at the business, and everything turned against them. The two daughters labeled the Porter Brothers as runners, men who run away from the responsibility of marriage, while their rich parents put out a statewide man hunt alert for the state of Maine. The Porters were blacklisted statewide. Their story caught on like wildfire through the rest of Maine. Many people were jealous that they could become rich overnight by marrying these two wealthy daughters. There would be more than one murder attempt on the Porter brothers’ lives in order to prevent them from becoming rich. This is the Porter Brothers’ Tragedy, filled with romance, violence, and stories of torture and disappointed hopes. 

As brothers, Glenn and Steven Porter rent a small house together in Maine. They have two cats, Junior and Nina. Nina is Junior’s girlfriend. The Porter Brothers’ Tragedy: The Untold Story is Glenn and Steven’s first book.

    Porter Brothers' Tragedy: The Untold Story is beautifully written and readers will enjoy the prose as well as the nonstop action. The narrative voice is clear and powerful and it draws readers in from the first page. The way the story starts is also engaging; it begins with a very unusual encounter, a curious thing in fact, and that immediately makes the reader hopeful for something dramatic to take place. It does! Although this is not fiction, it reads like a well-crafted novel, only that the authors know how to put life into the narrative with brilliant descriptions and engaging dialogue that can’t go unnoticed by any appreciative reader. Glenn Porter and Steven W. Porter have written a story that plays out in the lives of many people, and it will offer insightful lessons to readers. Apart from many people, and it will offer insightful lessons to readers. Apart from being brutally honest, this book is very entertaining, and it shows just how far a human being can go when pushed by greed, jealousy, and the need for revenge.

    I loved the way the authors portrayed the theme of man’s inhumanity to man and the illusion that money can do everything. Readers will love the Porter brothers and the bond between them, and they will ache to know what they went through. The language is very accessible and the first-person narrative voice comes across powerfully.

A heartbreaking and well-written story.

  • Rabia Tanveer for Readers’ Favorite

    This book is both heartbreaking and inspirational. It shows what could have been avoided with a little communication between the couples, and a little less interference from other people. The novel is well-paced. It feels genuine, filled with raw emotions and the thoughts of two men who had to run for their lives. It was intricate and well-written. The authors did an excellent job of keeping readers' attention. I devoured the book in a matter of hours.

  • Tracy A. Fischer for Readers' Favorite

    Porter Brothers’ Tragedy: The Untold Story is certainly an exciting read with many twists and turns, so many that it almost reads like a work of fiction instead of the true life retelling of these brothers' lives. Many will relate to the trapped feelings of Glenn and Steven and their desire to become their own men, and that makes this story very readable. I am pleased to be able to recommend this book, and I hope to be able to read more from the authors, especially about their very interesting lives, in the future!
