Love in a Dying Town

About this ebook
What would you sacrifice for your child? Dreams? Ambitions? Everything?
Jim Bowen is a single father who struggles with his ex-wife. He still loves her and wants it to work but her toxic personality is devastating to their sweet seven-year-old daughter, Lily.
His grand ambitions of being an architect and building skyscrapers in a big city have eluded him. He's on edge, working in a factory and living in a dying mid-west town while trying to raise his daughter and teach her right from wrong. The pressures are mounting.
Like the town, he fights on for a better life. That better life may come in the form of a single woman with a child of her own. Pushed to the limits, they fight through each day, while most of the townspeople hold together like a family relying on each other. The town that once thrived now hangs on to the past like a fraying thread.
Did they stay too long? Will love save them, or will bitterness destroy them all? The answers delve deep into the eternal question of what it means to truly love.
Douglas Robbins
Douglas Robbins, a passionate writer and author, discovered the profound impact of words at a young age. When his teacher assigned the class to write a poem, Robbins unearthed a power within language that captivated him. Driven by an undeniable connection to words and ideas, Robbins began writing more seriously as time went on, realizing that it wasn't merely a career choice but a necessity. While he pursued higher education and joined the workforce, Robbins continued to dedicate his spare time to writing, seeking solace and purpose within his craft. However, a series of unfulfilling jobs left him frustrated and yearning for something more. Finally, after enduring years of waking up sick and dreading each day at a thankless corporate job, Robbins made a life-altering decision. Despite having meager funds in his bank account, he resolved that if he were to live or die, it would be by the pen. With unwavering determination, he bid farewell to the corporate world, embarking on a journey to fully embrace the profession that truly made sense to him. In 2019, Robbins unveiled his sci-fi novel, "Narican: The Cloaked Deception," marking the commencement of an enthralling sci-fi series. Inspired by his boundless imagination, he currently devotes his efforts to crafting the next two books in the Narican saga, promising readers more thrilling adventures in the near future. Adding another feather to his literary cap, Robbins released "Love in a Dying Town" in May of 2021. This poignant tale delves into themes of struggle, love, and commitment, set against the backdrop of a fading factory town. Through his writing, Robbins weaves together a narrative that touches the hearts of readers, leaving a lasting impact.
