JUST AIM: A Novel - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The boy asked, "They ever lose their temper or get out of control?" "Funny you ask that Toby. Once in a while, a player who's struggling to hit a desired shot may express disappointment similar to a person whose truck doesn't start on a cold morning. It's the awareness that something they believed to be dependable actually isn't." This modern-day American tale depicts characters of different and divergent paths and how they deal with unanswered questions and unattained goals. They deploy universally shared emotions of greed, hope, anger, longing, frustration, embarrassment, and disappointment. How these emotions are deployed is what makes this novel hard to put down. Bailey seduces the reader with the same adroitness one would use to hand-feed a squirrel. Strong-minded women willing to take risks and tough men whose vulnerabilities get in the way are attributes Bailey coats with a layer of light-hearted romance. Whether its F1 formula racing, racquetball, archery, surfing, darts, sailing, gambling, or big business, victory isn't seen as the most righteous endgame if it doesn't preserve the good.
