A six-month project that took 30 years: My younger brother Larry disappeared from New Jersey in 1979 and I thought of writing a book about it after we gave up the search the first time a few years later. After several other searches and a renewed confidence in my writing, I embarked on this journey about a month after Larry's birthday in 2016 and decided to sprinkle the fictional discovery of Larry in 1989 with the facts of the real case. I had thought of a donation to a missing persons charity with the profits but a friend suggested offering a reward if a reader's information could help me to find out what happened to him. At age 60, I thought that this would be the last chance to find the brother who ran away from his family much as I did. But my life took, I'm sure, many different turns from his. The twists and turns our lives take in this work of fiction involve many real characters in my life and a few in the afterlife. There are a few historical events and a few hysterical events but it all comes down to the search for Larry be it real or fictional.
