Synopsis

Commonwealth Ferryboat Company General Manager, John de Souza, finds himself at a crossroads in what can only be described as a paranormal episode out of The Twilight Zone. Besieged by an internal struggle, John vacillates between having to tow the company line, or, to do the right thing, regardless of the consequences. As time passes, John endures untenable pressure to go along with the program, but now must decide where his loyalty lies . . . to the C.F.C., or, to himself.What will he do?On April 21, 2011, the motor vessel Islander was towed to a ship graveyard and dismantled for scrap. Three days later, Easter Sunday, the ferry mysteriously reappears at the Vineyard Haven wharf on Martha’s Vineyard, causing havoc unlike any the C.F.C. has had to deal with.Faced with this anomaly, the Commonwealth Ferryboat Company’s prime objective is to put an end to the Islander’s rogue activities by any means necessary.However, it’s no easy task; for the ferry appears to be an apparition, a ghost ship.The C.F.C. Board of Directors does everything in its power to stop the ferry. But despite them taking draconian measures, the stalwart ferryboat forges ahead in her bid to reclaim the route she had sailed between Woods Hole and Martha’s Vineyard for fifty-seven years.Will the Islander fulfill her mission, or succumb to the powers that be?

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Kevin J. Parham is an author and a professional musician. Raised in West Medford, Massachusetts, he graduated from Medford High School and attended Salem State College where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. However, for most of his adult life, Kevin had pursued music as a vocation and was fortunate to have traveled extensively while performing with an array of professional musicians, musical groups, and vocalists. As a recording artist, Kevin was the bassist for the R&B group, Rhythm, which released a single on Polydor Records, followed by an album on RCA Records. He also collaborated on several recording projects, including releases on Sussex Records and Critique Records. Kevin's literary aspirations had blossomed later in life, a time when the desire to express himself through the written word seemed to appear from out of nowhere. This once-latent ability to string words together and form a cohesive story was born from many of Kevin's life experiences. And because of those experiences, he not only finds joy in writing stories that he can share with others, but also feels a unique kind of satisfaction that can only be realized through artistic self-expression.
