Opis

Fred Dogan is a loving husband and devoted father, dedicated to his family and his work. He's also a recovering alcoholic. When his sanity and sobriety are tested by unthinkable horrors across the course of a year, he finds himself driven to the edge of a spiritual cliff, forced to ponder the ultimate question: can he somehow survive the realization of every husband's and father's worst nightmare, or should he simply step off the ride - into oblivion unknown? A STRAW IN THE WIND is perhaps Prescott's most poignant tale yet, an emotional tour-de-force of highest literary merit. With its taut prose, vivid imagery, and Prescott's rare ability to breathe three-dimensional life into all of his characters, here is a beautifully rendered novella without the slightest hint of artifice: stirring, succinct, unpredictable, and unforgettable. "Brilliant, moving, and compact. One seldom encounters a story at once so rife with suspense and yet so potent in its impact upon the reader's heart." - Ted Biringer, author of THE FLATBED SUTRA OF LOUIE WING MICHAEL PRESCOTT is the award-winning author of more than twenty books. He lives and writes on the West Coast.
