He decides to take revenge against the wrong person when he is financially ruined as a young man by a fellow trader on the trading floor in New York. This fellow trader, Kevin Kepler, is a former mercenary and arms dealer and way out of Cecil's league.

Cecil's short time in Laramie comes to an abrupt halt when he decides to return home, where he is ultimately pursued and captured by Kepler. I really liked the characters in this book, even the minor ones like Kepler's daughter Virginia and her rescuer and therapist, Mike Chandler.

<br />Frank
Drury offers readers a glimpse into the mind of a person with Bipolar
Disorder. I liked reading this story because of the path it chose to
take on the perception of mental illness. I have many years of
experience in assessing mental illness behaviors, and could relate to
how important it is for available treatment. This plot successfully
shines much needed light upon a subject few understand. He accomplished
this without sacrificing entertainment, suspense and romance. Drury
brings together several subplots that are very important in today's
society: the struggles of a parent of an adopted child, the struggles of
the child to come to terms with being given up for adoption, the
emotional stress of the birth parents and most importantly the nightmare
of dealing with a person suffering from bi-polar disorder. Until you
have dealt with a person suffering from this debilitating disorder you
cannot fully understand the pain of loving someone with this
condition.This book is appropriate for young adults and adults.

it is not really a mystery novel, it moves very quickly and is full of
suspense and action. I would love to see this book made into a movie as
it would be really exciting to see this story on the big screen.Frank Druryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04388385341232641177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832706367627897331.post-84570017501554040382020-02-14T09:27:00.001-08:002020-02-14T09:27:09.197-08:00<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;">

<span class="a-size-base review-text">Never
to be one to stray from a challenge Frank Drury gives us another
controversial novel, this time taking on mental illness and the
breakdown of families in the riveting A Dream Away. This will definitely
have you examining your own thoughts and sensibilities on the matters
at hand and the intricate way the plot twists and turns. I was
practically glued to the chair as I flipped through the chapters. A hard
one to put down once you pick it up, so make sure you have a gap in
your schedule before you start.</span></div>

Bipolar
disorder is a difficult subject to tackle in a novel but is handled
here very well which must have been the result of extensive research if
not first hand experience. There is romance in here as well as the
harrowing split family aspect that makes up the hook at the base of the
plot. A bit of a tear jerker at times but lots of depth and emotion
rather than overused clichés. It is well plotted and even better put
together. I'll be recommending to my friends.</div>

Floodlights was an intriguing and engaging novel that covered a wide span of
interesting events. From the war, to the Wall Street protests, to a carjacking,
