No Holiday for the Rainmaker

About the Book

With his dream of eventually becoming a television star, Josh embarks on a journey that takes him from New York to California. Along the way he peels away the trappings of who he was and transitions into whom he thought he wanted to become. But he succeeds too well. And when his television character never rises above the same sparse hackneyed dialogue and stock dramatic gestures, he struggles to free himself from the stagnation of that role and implements a bold and daring strategy that strives to bring more meaning to his career and, consequently, to his life. But he learns that in having denied who he was, the repercussions are far greater than he ever imagined.
