Exit 59

by L.D. Ryan

Destiny works through a reoccurring dream to send Shaun Sullivan in search of an exit on a four-lane highway. As a bastard child raised in an alcoholic's foster home, he searches for respect in his community and from his biological parents. He became independently wealthy trying to impress his birth parents. When this failed, he decided to politically oppose his US senator father. The political campaign would reveal the senator's relationship with Shaun's mother, a 16 year-old girl. The senator sent a mole and a hit man to stop Shaun's political career. A young divorcee schoolteacher, Marie White, desperately needed moral and financial support for herself and her cerebral palsy child. Her marriage to an abusive husband that she knew all her life produced a woman unsure of herself when it came to judging men. She turned to prayer as the burden of her child, job, and farm overwhelmed her. This love story is about how a reoccurring dream and a woman's prayers caused two totally different people living in two different worlds to meet. The author has successfully mixed love, sex, violence, and faith together in a love story to remember.
