Book excerpt: "...Unhappy in his native St. Louis, disaffected paraplegic Frank Eastman returns to L.A., where six months before, working as a tree-cutter for the phone company, he suffered the fall from a top a rat-infested palm tree that caused his paralysis. Fed up with the condescension of his well-meaning sister and full of bitter insights into the empty lifestyles of "enabled" people, Frank moves into the seedy Tradewinds motel, in the shadow of Disney's magic kingdom. There, among a shady cast of eccentrics and fellow malcontents, Frank wrestles with the implications of his personal predicament and with the conflicting, sometimes hallucinatory, realities of this strange milieu..."--Publishers Weekly, www.amazon.com.
