Cross roads a novel

Young, William Paul. (Author). Mueller, Roger, (Narrator).

Summary: "Anthony Spencer is egotistical, proud of being a self-made business success at the peak of his game, even though the cost of winning was painfully high. A cerebral hemorrhage leaves Tony comatose in a hospital ICU. He 'awakens' to find himself in a surreal world, a 'living' landscape that mirrors dimensions of his earthly life, from the beautiful to the corrupt. It is here that he has vivid interactions with others he assumes are projections of his own subconscious, but whose directions he follows nonetheless with the possibility that they might lead to authenticity and perhaps, redemption. The adventure draws Tony into deep relational entanglements where he is able to 'see' through the literal eyes and experiences of others, but is "blind" to the consequences of hiding his personal agenda and loss that emerge to war against the processes of healing and trust. Will this unexpected coalescing of events cause Tony to examine his life and realize he built a house of cards on the poisoned grounds of a broken heart? Will he also have the courage to make a critical choice that can undo a major injustice he set in motion before falling into a coma?"--

    Self-made businessman Tony Stewart likes to win regardless of the cost to others--until he's diagnosed with a brain tumor and confined to an ICU ward. Unable to speak, he's believed to be in a coma, yet Tony's spirit is fully aware of himself and his surroundings. And in this surreal situation he realizes he just may be able to redeem himself for past sins. Narrator Roger Mueller captures Tony's emotions and thoughts in deep, rich tones that range from incredulity and dismay to laugh-out-loud humor. His portrayal of Tony's self-created demons, "Bluster" and "Swaggert," will make listeners pause and look at themselves. In particular, his sensitive depiction of Cabby, a 16-year-old boy with Down's syndrome who is judged to be merely a drain on society is emotional and genuine. As delivered by Mueller, Tony's ultimate gift--one only he can offer--provides new meaning to the meaning of "crossroads." G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
