Description

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.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.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.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.

Reviews

“I'm midway through the book and quite digging it.!” - John Payne, “Los Angeles Weekly” “It was a bother to have to put the book down and get back to work. And Washington's totally believable characters are action-in-motion, nothing static about them or their black ops run by our invisible government arm that topples regimes, takes out enemies around the world and in general keeps things safe for multinational corporations.” - Steve Giordano - Editor, “High on Adventure” “MAGNETIC!!!!!! Three Lives, by first time novelist Joe Washington, is a magnetic read - I couldn't put it down.” - John R. Vacca - "Tech Write Independent Reviewer" “One can hardly wait for the sequel to this book.” - Stacie Hearne – “Authorsreading.com” “Readers should avoid Three Lives if they're distressed by intense action or by fevered plotting. Otherwise, however, they should charge ahead. This is a novel deeply engaged in some of the international intrigue that we all want to think "can't happen here." … the story, deep with unexpected twists, ends up so believable that we're called on to admit it -- we've been warned.” - Ed Nelson – Independent professional reviewer “Joe Washington has written a tough gritty novel that forces his readers to crawl through the bloody underbelly of an urban sewer. A quote from his hero, Nicholas Gambit, explains: “growing up in a Kansas City ghetto, societal expectations for me were minimal. I was expected to kill and eventually be killed, a mere product of my environment.” That, like his creator, Gambit has survived to age 64 and lived to tell his compelling story gives readers a powerful rationale for joining him on his crawl through the sewer. How many even make it out, much less can tell the tale in a cogent, entertaining, and thoughtful manner? - Kay Carstens – Freelance professional reviewer, formerly with Penton Publishing
