This is a story that covers many of the controversial issues of our time, such as abortion, child abuse and abandonment, prostitution, and gambling. It illustrates how one child without good parental love and guidance became an anti-social criminal, while on the other hand, twin boys born from a mother who had high moral standards were taught the proper road to follow in life. One of the twins became a priest, the other a stock manipulator, and gambler, but even though they went on opposite paths in life, both stayed within the limits of the law. The twins were conceived from an act of violence, and their mother Sara would not rest until she was sure their biological father was caught and put in prison. When he is sentenced to five years, he vows to come back and kill her. The twin’s biological father was the child without parents who became an anti-social criminal. The story continues with the lives of the twins and has many unexpected turns of fate. It has adventure, intrigue, murder, and even comedy.
The author Harold (Harry) E. Keller was born in Jamaica Queens, New York on October 20, 1937. Harry studied Creative Writing and Business Management at Suffolk Community College in Selden, New York. He began writing as a hobby at first and wrote several poems that won awards for his work. This encouragement gave him the incentive to consider writing as a career. That was delayed several years due to the obligations of raising a family, and he did not begin to write again until 1996. After a serious life-threatening bout with cancer in 1991 that took five years to win, Harry got back on his typewriter! He has written several poems that are listed on the Internet by
poetry.com. His poetry has been published in books by Sparrowgrass, Iliad Press, Cader Publishing Co., National Library of Poetry, Poets Guild Edition of New Poems, Best Poems of the 90’s (published by the National Library of Poetry), and American Poetry Annual. He also wrote a column for The Senior Gazette called Exception to Age in Kissimmee, Florida.
"Well that's good. I am glad to hear that. It's been two weeks since Ricardo escaped. He is not coming here. He is long gone. I told you he would not come near you. It would be suicide for him. He knows I would have a patrol car watching the house."
Angelo heard Lorna tell Sara this and again, almost laughed out loud because that didn't stop him at all. He was right there in the house with them.
Lorna and the boys left the house and got into Lorna's car and drove off. Angelo knew for sure he was now alone with Sara. He could not resist the temptation to finish what he came there to do...to get his revenge.
Angelo crept up the stairs from the cellar and listened at the door. He heard Sara cleaning up the breakfast dishes and then go to the bedroom and into the bathroom and turn on the shower. Angelo opened the door slowly to be sure he was not seen.
No one was there, so he went on down the hallway to find the bedroom. The bathroom door was open. He could see Sara's shadowed figure behind the shower glass door. He hated her, but he could not help remembering his first encounter with her, and it made him want her again.
