Mike Sullivan Fortunes of the Once Downtrodden

Annotation

A rags-to-riches tale of two young adult males in their early twenties, Fred Murphy and Mitch Stein, who also help keep the memory of a quiet, lonely, somewhat misfit social studies teacher, Simon Goldberg, who passed away alive by publishing his romance story. Through this journey, Fred and Mitch meet two women, and they are, at the core, loyal to them. The book has a surprising ending, which can only be appreciated by hanging on each word like holding on to the handrails of a roller coaster through a roller coaster ride. The author, himself, practiced abstinence from dating women to improve his romance writing and to also get inside the mind of one of the main characters, Simon Goldberg. It is an amazing adventure and love story.
