This book is an honest reflection of the tools used in controlling, oppressive relationships as benevolence becomes the key method in obtaining control. Bill Gustav has been wildly successful as an actor but has always pined after his love of music. He finally acquires a job as an interim conductor in his home town. It has been a long time coming, but just when he has it in his hand, it is about to be snatched away-by his father, his own involvement in a secret society, and by an old associate who vows to expose him. This intelligent, warmly personal novel is a condensed style of story-telling with features reminiscent of Chaim Potok's study of relationships and C.S. Lewis' parables. Brian Lee Wilson provides a challenging and provocative writing style that evokes genuine dialogue and vivid descriptions of characters, ultimately revealing important life lessons.
