Description

Book Synopsis: In a late life attempt to compensate for authoring over a 1000 of the world’s most incomprehensible documents – utility patents – Mark A. Litman turned at age 77 to creative writing. With a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University and a law degree from American University, as a competitive swimmer for more than 50 years, and as a frustrated golfer for longer, that background is woven into the three current works constituting the PASSION series. This novel constitutes the first in the chronology of the series. Although the author grew up in Washington, D.C., when it was a town and not a metropolis, this book is set in his now residence State of Minnesota, which retained the charm of many tight knit communities from the 1960’s – 2000’s. He feels sorrow for today’s children, facing heightened intensity and extremes of troubles. Violence in the author’s childhood was a tightened fist or a deadly sharp tongue. Drugs were stolen bottles of liquor from a parent’s cupboard. A girl might get a hickey, not a fatal disease or bear a child at 14. Yet the author still recalls old emotions and drama that were just as fragile and electric as those of today. This story is dedicated to the educators, swimming friends (Bigelows, Thomas’s, and Friedmans) and families that that shaped Mark’s life in his teenage years.
