My first attempt at a full length novel
 with various
starts and stops
 in memory of the years 
from 1993 through 2004.

Sometimes life gives you dark times 
but at some point you
decide for yourself
 whether to sink or to swim.

To the friends and aquaintences 
who inspired me
. 
Our lives tangled at one time
 or another
 and now we are free.

To Mark, Nitin, & Mohammed.
