This is the portrait of a family. Adam Arnring, 19, sets out for the west to make a life for himself. He leaves behind his father and his dwarfish, reclusive and brilliant brother. Adam succeeds in his quest but his past keeps reaching out for him. Can Adam keep his dream intact or will past entanglements bring his little world crashing down around his ears? Who knows? Who cares? Frankly, I thought everything came a little too easy for Adam. Oh yes, he is a winner, the apple of his daddy’s eye. But he turns his back on his family back in New Jersey. It’s easy to see why his brother resented him so much, stuck back in Jersey doing work he hated.
It was an OK read, I guess.
