Crooked Tracks By Barry Nemett
Time and places shift and collide. Scenes are set in Renaissance Italy and Hackensack, New Jersey. Through the eyes of Stephen, the main character, we see beyond historical moments and conventional minutes to focus on how we experience time in grief and joy. This heartbreaking, yet surprisingly upbeat, life-affirming story explores the influence of friends and family, the gentle force of romance, the challenge of redemption, and ultimately, the wonder of how a life can seemingly fall apart and come together at once, as it follows the crooked tracks of a youthful journey.
