“Parallel Lives is raw, powerful and uncompromising.” “This (book) is really amazing. This is by far one of the best stories I’ve read. The dialogue was amazingly developed, as are the characters. I absolutely see this book as a screenplay. I would love to watch this as a movie.” Editor: “Parallel Lives, grips you from the very first pages and drags you, nail-biting and questioning through every chapter until the very last page.” “A heart wrenching and brutal story of life in today's world of complexities and realities. ”David 'Mac' McNeil worked hard his whole life and was ready to enjoy the rewards of that hard work, with the only woman he ever loved, his wife Kate. He was a successful, honest, uncompromising contractor, until a business partner needed money, a lot of it. Mac was his only hope. Under immense pressure Mac won't concede his principles and refuses to pay, setting in motion a stream of events that engulf not only him, but his children; trying desperately to solve a problem of their own. His fragile and disintegrating relationship with his wife, is dramatically impacted, but, it's already too late. He finds himself embroiled in a world out of control. Pulling him in every direction except the right one. With the Police, a deadly adversary and even his own wife against him. He eventually takes matters into his own hands and makes a desperate decision no husband or father should have to make. And death is just a part of it. He stood by the fire pit and took off his torn and bloody shirt and jeans, covered in mud, and threw them onto the hot coals. It instantly stopped the heat warming his body. He was naked and cold. He pressed his hand against the wound on his leg and limped over to the spigot by the garage. Turning it on, the cold water made him wince as he rinsed the deep gash on his hand, and watched the blood sprinkle the paved driveway. It was the early hours of the morning. The moonless sky was as dark as ink. He shivered, and needed to get inside.
