Publisher's Synopsis
Ben is an up and coming writer. He is also a broken man with a dark past and an anxiety disorder. Maggie is a beautiful woman with a loving heart and curious mind, but her body and her spirit have been broken by an evil man. Fate (if indeed it is fate) is bringing them toward a collision with each other; one that will test love's ability to heal the darkest of emotional and psychological wounds. And then there's Denny, Ben's promiscuous friend; Mickey, a grumpy but lovable Irishman; Maya, a barista who's just as lost as Ben is; Simon, a narcissistic psychopath; and Elliott, an out-of-towner on a secret mission. The Offbeat Rhythms is the story of how all their lives converge... A defining work of pure intellect and pure emotion, The Offbeat Rhythms will invite you into a world you'll never want to leave. Set against the backdrop of New York City in 1980, this is a story of love and loss, violence and romance, drugs and sex, pain and healing, and intense inner discovery. Dark, deep, profane, melancholy, and yet inspiring, this book is destined to take its place among your favorites on the shelf.
