The High Rise

About the Book

The High Rise is a satirical look at the decisions people make in everyday life and how those decisions have future consequences, also making allowance for forces that are outside of human control. The main characters, Allie and Trudy, through little fault of their own, find themselves dead after a multiple car pile-up on Pacific Coast Highway. Arbitrarily, they are thrown in Hell by two rouges from Heaven's escort service. Lou, the Devil, senses they should not be there, and calls Corporate in an attempt to help these girls reach Heaven. Will he succeed? Read more, as the plot unfolds.

About the Author

My name is Edward Becker, and I am originally from California, the sunshine state. While my dad was in the U.S. Navy, we lived in San Diego, and my mom was a school teacher. My little sister was born there also and our family became complete. After we spent sometime in the west, our family moved to the rural state of Indiana. Here in Indiana, I have lived most of my life, and the experiences here have helped inspire me to write this book for you. I enjoy Silver Beach near Lake Michigan, and I like to take walks with my children. I also like to roam through the larger parks in the Northern part of Indiana. I enjoy the songs that nature sings, the outdoors, and the journeys I take in my free time to escape the harshness of our world.
