Peter Friday Wakes Up

By Jerry Holtaway

Shy, awkward, and confused Peter Friday carries his childhood insecurities, fears, and self-doubt into his adult life, turning his search for happiness into an emotional roller-coaster. Along the way, a "mystery woman" enigmatically floats in and out of his life, an unknown "gentle man" stars in his recurring dreams, and an FBI agent rocks his world with shocking news.From the docile suburbs of Rochester, to the vibrant streets of New York, San Francisco, Paris, and Geneva, Peter Friday Wakes Up explores one man's journey through life's adversities and the joy he discovers as he finds the courage to believe in himself."You couldn't ask for a more suburban American upbringing than I had in Chattingham Heights, New York. With its leafy streets, broad lush lawns, and well-kept homes, my hometown encapsulated the American vision of postwar living. Set between the smell, noise, and crime of the nearby city, and the primitive wilds of the nearby countryside, this cozy little corner of the world honed my reality, shaped my expectations, and defined my future path." - Chapter 1Jerry Holtaway left his native USA nearly 30 years ago and now lives in a small seaside village in Southwest France. In addition to "Peter Friday Wakes Up", Jerry is also the author of the short comedy book "Kitschy Kayaked Karla" and will soon publish his second novel, "Gang of Four".
