Meet me in Red Bank - The Awakening (Paperback)

Fourteen years after Black Monday in October 1987, beautiful and detached thirty-something Tara Morgan, divorced mother of a little girl named Jamie, is still haunted by her banker father's unexplained suicide. Tara strives to regain the happiness of an innocence long lost, a journey that she finds fraught with divorce, despair, doom, deceit, destruction, and even death. Unbeknownst to Tara though, her father's grim past overshadows her every move, and doggedly derails all of her personal accomplishments. Set against a post-9/11 backdrop, Meet Me in Red Bank is a story of love and betrayal in the tony Jersey Shore, where great wealth and privilege do not always bestow high moral and ethical values. Sometimes to her aid, but most often to her detraction, comes a cast of characters that includes her own mother Isabella, a very married attorney Ramon DiCastro, his vivacious daughter Zipper, the brother-and-sister team of Venky and Jaya Telluri, and handsome, dashing Red Bank Police Officer Toby Roland. Please also check out the companion book 'Fear' - with moving verse by Bhaskara Rao Achyuthuni and unique watercolor art by Zack Spakowski - it is a very powerful illustrated book that has a solid tie-in to 'Meet Me in Red Bank' 'Fear' is available on Amazon.com.
