PRISON of NOW

By Jon F Harmon

The nest may be empty, but family problems loom large. And no one is aging gracefully in Prison of Now. A poignant, spirited reflection on the complexities of life and the relentless passage of time.

Fifty-seven-year-old Tyler Manion is still trying to make sense of life's confusion, afraid of missing out on something important. But he has trouble focusing, and he can't quite face the problems crowding in all around him. His spoiled adult son is entangled in a federal corruption investigation. His daughter, a cop in a particularly rough neighborhood on Chicago's West Side, is unwilling to move to a safer precinct in the suburbs. His wife is going through a spiritual crisis, and is determined to include him in it. All the while, she is encouraging her dementia-suffering father to move in with them. At work, Tyler is losing the respect of his young corporate subordinates. And there are troubling signs that his health is taking a serious turn for the worse.

Thirty-one years earlier, a series of events in Tyler's life put into motion the powerful currents that have brought him to this precarious place, as told in SCRAPS of GRACE.
