Footprints

by Robert Rayner

When three teenage friends oppose the annexation of their favourite beach by a prominent businessman and philanthropist, their efforts to keep it public are rebuffed or ignored. Their actions quickly move beyond conventional protest, despite the wa ings of an adult friend, the gentle, enigmatic Dexter Lully. As the friends, frustrated and desperate, are driven towards the dark, morally ambiguous world of direct action, one embraces it, one is thrust into it, and one teeters on the brink, appalled at the widening rift he sees separating his friends from him, and from society, for ever.

About the author

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked as a journalist, a teacher, and an elementary school principal. Now I teach music at home. I like to walk, read, ski, feed and watch the birds, watch soccer, photograph, listen to and play music (I play keyboard and saxophone in a band) and, of course, write, usually in the early morning. I live on the Magaguadavic River in St. George, New Brunswick, Canada.
