More DescriptionHow far can a person push against fate? How far can a person go for love? These are the lifelong questions of our time. These are the omnipresent questions in "I Promise," the quintessential modern American tale of love and our way of life. Through this fast moving story of crime versus justice, good versus right, practicality versus aspiration, James L. Sonnino portrays the struggle each person will experience, either daily or inevitably, by following Peter and his journey through American manhood. When Peter determines his way in life is to start anew, he does more than merely relocate the 1,215 miles from Detroit to Dallas. He starts from square one entirely in every way. In doing so, Peter manages to both achieve and squander, all the while trying to discover his own essential spiritual being. In his attempt to outrun his upbringing and his history, he falls victim to the very things he is attempting to change. After financial and emotional ruin brought about by a combination of circumstance and hubris, Peter is left to question how to move forward with his quest for higher ideals while also realizing the hard, and in many ways fixed, realities and historical momentum of his own life. In an ending designed to allow the reader himself to learn about his own outlook on life, Sonnino leaves the reader questioning which is more powerful in the end - Mother Nature or Father Time. WARNING: Book contains dialogue which is profane, as well as themes that include strong sexual content, and is not suitable for those under the age of eighteen.
