The author takes us on a raucous journey into the life and mind of
Richard Bonhom. He is a post modern portrait of success despite his
failed marriage, delinquent drug addicted daughter and looming
financial scandal at work. The story takes place in a one week
period preceding Bonhom's fiftieth birthday. A growing discomfort
at facing this turning point in his life, and the urgent need to
make things right, are the driving forces motivating his desperate
search for some form of salvation. These issues force him to dig
deep, hold on, and take stock. This serious, but often hilarious,
search for meaning and purpose to Richard's world takes the reader
along an almost satirical path filled with interesting and often
outrageous characters. The setting is Vancouver, Canada. The time
is now. When we look out at the world around us, and within us,
through the eyes of Richard Bonhom, we inevitably see ourselves,
and more importantly, what truly matters in our lives.
