Author Description

This novel deals with the lives of two brothers born in raised in Manhattan ́s Upper East Side, near Central Park. Mike, the older, is married and has a daughter. He is a failed small employee who lives with his family under dire, hopeless financial circumstances. Tom, the younger brother, is a Catholic priest regarded by the entire family as its head and final resource. Both brothers will be tested by a fantasy creature representing DESTINY in human form, who is cruel, inflexible, reckless and overwhelmingly powerful, except when it chooses not to be. Destiny wishes to force the brothers to prove their real mettle. Father Tom is forced to contemplate the suicide for unknown reasons of his single niece and given information about the place, day and precise time where it will take place, but not about the cause. He has exactly three days to prevent it. His ordeal will be trying, but Tom will gain insights into his life, character and social function as well as about the nature of human relations.
