Downsized is a novel for our times. It depicts the story of three friends who struggle through hardship and adventure after they lose their jobs in a corporate downsizing event and are forced to reinvent their lives, both as expats in Costa Rica and as outcasts in the USA. Soon, they find themselves confronted by corruption, betrayal, blackmail, and a looming economic crisis that forces them to put everything--even their lives--on the line. Written in an earthy, contemporary style that combines elements of literary fiction, humor, travel, suspense, and psychological analysis, Downsized blends a variety of genres in the telling of this fascinating story of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances as they "take the road less traveled by."
