Description

Bonnie Gold, twenty-eight, Native American, Jewish, Irish, recent Phd in hand, has fallen through the cracks, adrift, and lost without direction or purpose, until she's drawn into her mother's uphill battle for governor of the State of Wisconsin. Bonnie's life improbably begins to come together as her parents' relationship comes apart under the stress of the all consuming political campaign fraught with dirty tricks and dark money. Shattered windows, shots in the night, and violence endemic to our troubled political times result in pain and loss that Bonnie must overcome as she is forced to take a leading role in her mother's campaign in the run up to the election. With her father's guidance she grapples to find meaning in the madness of a world spinning out of control and strength to rise up and lead a new generation of hope and promise.

Author Bio

Michael Casey, an attorney licensed in the States of Illinois and Wisconsin, has written three novels. His first, Passage, was written under the pen name of Vince Hurley, and takes place on the East Side of Milwaukee in the early 1970's. His second, In Nominee Patris, takes place in Chicago and the Driftless of Wisconsin in the mid-1980's. Soar takes place on the East Side and Wisconsin generally sometime in the aughts. All three novels share connections, characters, places, and themes, but each also stands on its own. Mr. Casey recommends In Nomine Patris, Soar, and Passage, in that order, even if not chronological. He currently resides with his wife near the great Lake Michigan on their beloved East Side of Milwaukee.
