Synopsis

Undertow is the story of Michael Ross. It is the first in a series of three books about the life and times of this character, born into a loving but dysfunctional family, raised by a powerful mother whose life's experiences give him certain strengths, but also can be a venomous poison. This fictional memoir is filled with a young man's hopes, dreams, disappointments, adventures and misadventures. Michael Ross' journey deviates dramatically from most in numerous ways. He learns things about himself that are frightening. He takes paths that most men could not and would not. These paths lead him in harms way but also bring excitement and challenge upon which he seems to thrive. And it isn't just the missions that challenge him, it's trying to understand who he is, a hero or a cold blooded killer, a healer or an assassin. Chance and choice place all of these options on his plate. How will he manage such challenges? How will his mind hold together? An undertow is an unseen and dangerous force if you enter the water. Michael Ross enters the water repeatedly as if he is somehow obsessed with challenging and surviving such a force. How do nurture and nature build a persona? Undertow gives us a window to observe this process.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Joseph Michael DeGross writes and lives in East Tennessee in the winter, and Adirondack Park and Wyoming in the summer. He is a semi-retired physician and teacher, a bird hunter and fly fisherman, and even a golfer of sorts. Now in his eighth decade, he feels he is living the icing on the cake. He obtained an MFA in creative writing in his seventh decade in order to develop skills in painting images of life with words. This is his motivation to write his novels and short stories. He thinks that when a person writes well, they not only share there view of elusive reality, but also learn. He minored in philosophy in college and discovered life examined through this lens was intriguing and the colors more vivid.
