Quandary

About the Book

In life you must learn your lessons and pay your dues. When faced with problems that must be solved, you must be ready to do what it takes to find the answer. But when fate has dealt you some strange cards that must be played, there is no choice but to see it through. Absorbed in the routines of daily concerns, a young man searches in old family papers for something to help support his widowed mother. In his great grandfather’s belongings he finds a formula for furniture polish. All his attempts to market the formula are blocked by old family quarrels and startling revelations, which leads to a complete upheaval of everything and everyone he thought he knew. These are the unwilling first steps of a fateful journey that inexorably robs him of his family, his lifestyle, and, ultimately, his very identity. From the past an evil scheme of world domination puts him squarely in the cross hairs of destiny. Hunted and chased everywhere, he must learn why, or die.
