Priorities: Four Young Men in 1967

Set in the US and Canada in 1967, Priorities is a story of four men in their twenties who face unavoidable circumstances and make desperate choices to preserve human life-even if it costs them everything. They all find redemption.

The men:

-A wounded Vietnam veteran returning home to find he has as much of a fight about the war as he did during active duty.

-A graduate student who leads a group of antiwar protestors and pays the price.

-A giant of an African-American Vietnam veteran who is a bouncer in a white bar and treats everyone with a magnanimous heart regardless of their color.

-A race car driver and womanizer whose life gets turned around to lead him to true love.

The women:

-An American blonde who has a young man wrapped around her finger but teaches him a lesson in infidelity.

-A stunningly beautiful French Canadian girl who can cause a man to babble with just one look but who is in grave danger.

The story is in three parts: the first two are testosterone-generated drama; Part Three is a love story / drama that takes the reader through Montreal and its environs, including the Montreal Underground City and the 1967 World's Fair.
