About this ebook

During high school, Rich thought he'd change the world. Now he's stumped by the survey question, 'what you thought you'd be doing thirty years later.' Contrary to his ambitious plans to design computers to help the blind like his beloved grandfather, he struggles to hold on to a dead-end job and inspire his son to avoid his mistakes.

His second wife complains that he forgets her, their plans, and her daughter. Although Rich regrets the haste of his second marriage, he'd never abandon his adopted daughter, who creeps through life hoping no one notices her.

Talking with old friends during the reunion weekend, Rich flashes back to riding a bike down the street and swallowing a bug, shooting an arrow straight up and almost stabbing his friend, and sleeping with his girlfriend. Vivid memories cause him to rethink his life. As the reunion progresses, Rich takes action and sparks fly.

Katherine Lato

Katherine Lato wrote computer programs in the telecommunication field for almost thirty years, taking every opportunity to write words in addition to computer instructions. This provides a rich background for her character-driven novels such as “Sticky Note Empire” where much of the conflict comes from forcing a mismatched team to work closely together. As the mother of three children, she brings her experience into novels such as “Making Family” and her Edinburgh Series of “Yes, And” and “Yes, But.” Working as a technical writer at Fermilab adds another dimension to her fiction writing as does her role as VP-Communications of the non-profit Partners Bridging the Digital Divide. Several short stories addressing digital inclusion can be found at: http://pbdd.org/creative-writing/ Katherine has been a member of NaNoWriMo and CritiqueCircle for ten years and has released several novels available at: katherinelato.com
