The past revolves around his relationships with the school bullies, and those that are bullied, and how he survives that time in his life. He has taken a very common though unfortunate childhood experience and developed it into the inevitable guilt-ridden and angry adult that is born of such a youth, and how his actions or lack of actions not only affect his own future, but that of one of his most bullied childhood friends. The outcome is not entirely unpredictable, but it has enough twists and turns and intrusions of other unsuccessful youthful relationships to make the reader dredge from his almost forgotten school yard memories some things of which he is not exactly proud, either. Each of these characters, the good, the bad, and the just plain awful, has deep regrets that they refuse to fully acknowledge. In this small book they are all intricately connected and either damned or redeemed.

Introspective and philosophical, and at times even humorous, this book is one that must be consumed in one reading in order for the reader to connect the psychological dots. It is a map of life, with all its pitfalls and darkness andstartling glimpses of the light that is always there for those who are willing to see it.

I highly recommend this work by a very talented author.
