Reality

Pete Behring and his wife, Ja Lin, are watching the first football game of the fall at East Pennsylvania State University. While he is gazing at the cheerleaders, one of them—a beautiful young Asian—catches his eyes. As he continues to gaze at her, she turns and smiles directly at him. She smiles again and he smiles back, and for the next few games he engages in a smiling relationship with this lovely football queen. Suddenly the 69-year-old psychologist becomes enthralled by a 19-year-old cheerleader and she begins to take up most of his thoughts. REALITY explores the boundary between reality and fantasy. A mixture of fantasy, history and present-time relationships, the book is a starkly honest exploration of a man's shifting thoughts and feelings as a distant flirtation with a cheerleader takes him to the highest pinnacle of hope and the lowest pit of despair and back again. This is a psychological novel that reveals an all-too-human mind struggling to make peace with his life, while at the same time it is a boldly poetic, entertaining and even occasionally hilarious story, harking back to literary classics of stream-of-consciousness writing, It takes readers on a very different journey than they have experienced before.
