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>

<ul style="margin:1.12em 0px 1.12em 20px;padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;"><li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">I loved this book! As the characters were being introduced, the action was already underway and escalated to the last page. I look forward to more books from this author, especially the next in this series.</li> <li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">This is an impressive and well written first book for this author. I have read many mysteries and thrillers so I am now a bit jaded and require a lot of twists, turns and surprises. This book delivered all of my mystery/thriller requirements! </li> <li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">A twisting tale full of action. I thought I had it figured out several times only to learn that I had not done so. Put everything away and get ready for a great story.</li> <li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 20px;">Wow! Bryan did a great job with Reece Culver! Exciting from the get-go. He tactfully introduces many main characters and keeps you moving with them all. Reece deals with beauty, deceit, dark secrets, wealthy villans and much more to avenge his father's brutal death. That Crystal Thomas is really something! It's a great thriller from a young author. I lost sleep until I finished this one!</li> </ul>
