Bitter Is the Wind: A Novel

Bitter is the wind is a coming-of-age novel that follows the lives of George Johnson Jr. and his father from the rural blue-collar landscape of upstate New York in the 1970's to the heights of Wall Street. After tragedy strengthens their bond, the Johnsons contend with monotony and unfulfilled dreams, and learn what it means to feel trapped, and ignored by a seemingly uncaring god. A study on the American working class and its aching desire for financial security and an American dream that seems just out of reach.
