Description

<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>

Story Behind The Book

I had a passion for writing from a young age. I wrote and drew my first comic book when I was eleven years old. I remember i would draw pictures and sell them to people i know just to earn money and wrote short stories and e-mail them to my friends to read. I got good feedbacks from them and I decided to write a full novel. I could tell a lot of horror stories about the trials and tribulations i had with this book but i would leave that for another time. One of the interesting thing is that characters in my book are named after my friends in High school. I used their names because i would imagine the story when i was in high school and i would draw my friends and i fighting these monsters The story behind this book is interesting because I based part of this story from a situations I had. I had got into a fight with a guy who was 6'2'' and 210 pounds and i was 5'8'' and a 180 about three years ago and I didn't loose to him... surprisingly. I based that fight between my main character Bellatrix and a phantom named Havok from the fight with the bully. Another interesting thing about that is, I saw the guy two or three years after our fight, and he was a changed man. I believe that was because of the fight we had, but if you wan to know more about 'Story behind my writing' just drop me a line. thanks

I love the lead protagonist Rick, because he's just like my oldest son, laid back and not too sure of himself. This book helped me to help my son through is tough time because he too didn't believed in himself. Further more I like the end of the book because it described Rick's growth as a man and all the troubles he had to go through to get there. Thanks for a great story. Hope to read the follow-up books.
