Deeper Than Skin: A novel from the recent past

By Jack LeMenager

Spanning the summer months of 1980 in New Canaan, CT, southern Fairfield County, and Manhattan, Deeper Than Skin is a classic boy-meets-girl story, complicated by two sudden deaths, and a woman's ongoing struggle to escape an abusive, dead-end relationship. The characters interact within the context of the current events and names in news within that setting, some forty years ago. The two young men at the story's heart share common backgrounds of modest beginnings, profound personal loss and hard work. But they pursue the American Dream on different paths, with divergent attitudes toward life. They're destined to clash over a beautiful, thoughtful young woman. For one, it ends in violent, self-destructive desperation.
