Burning Wings

by Benjamin Branfman

"We spent our entire childhood borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars for schooling, and now we'll spend our entire adulthood working dead-end jobs just to pay those debts. The things that were supposed to elevate us have become burdens that ruin our lives." BURNING WINGS tells the story of five young lawyers reeling from the shock of a recent murder. One of their former co-workers killed a Senior Partner at their law firm, for unclear reasons. Over the course of a single night, the lawyers examine the murder and grapple with their own internal conflicts, including disillusionment with their careers. They've spent their entire lives chasing some distant future reward, but even as corporate attorneys they still struggle with no end in sight. Frustration constantly burns them up inside, provoking terrifying decisions that could destroy them.

Deep Truths Brought to Light

This book is truly original and engrossing. It is a brilliant look at modern life and the massive consequences of choices made by the elite of generations before. The impacts and ramifications are cleverly laid before us in the characters of this must read novella. I am so pleased that I did.
