JAKE

by Tom McBride

This adventure fantasy involves two main characters in two story lines which take place in the United States and Europe in 1986. Similar to the headlines of today there is a conflict between good and evil which plays out both in private lives and societies. Our characters' struggles and triumphs embody both as they ask fundamental questions of each other and seek the answers that are often more elusive than apparent. You are invited to join our cast of characters along the way to a crossroad of worlds and beyond. Life, as a changing kaleidoscope, swirls together varieties and spins apart certainties. One's bravest step is the first one and one's biggest mistake is to give up.
