The problem with most stories about love is that they lose the truth in the romance or lose the romance in the truth. Shooting Stars some-how holds onto them both. It is a wondrous story that in some ways feels too special to be true, but in others too real to be special. It's an escape and an adventure, but the situations are so real and the emotions so true that, like even the best of life, it comes sprinkled with pain. It's been said that the greatest hurt is never having tried to climb the mountains of your dreams and dared facing the rapids taking you back down. In our world today, our fears so outweigh our dreams that it is rare to find someone willing to take the risk. This is a story about people who did.
As a young boy, Brad would sit out on his back porch at night staring at the sky, patiently waiting to witness a shooting star. When he did, it would be followed by a wish. There were so many things to wish for with his life all in front of him. Now, having just turned 50, he sees the life he was wishing for as fleeting as a shooting star. Mackenzie, an undefinable young lady known as Mack to most people, finds herself right where she is supposed to be for her stage in life; but it isn't enough for her. When Brad and Mack have a chance encounter at her store, it begins an innocent and unlikely journey down a path that neither saw coming. They both experience a new spark in their lives, unique to both but powered by their connection. The author has taken these two quirky, idiosyncratic characters from their own established, socially designed roles, but from completely different worlds, and has created a story that brings them together despite the obstacles created by the status quo. This book questions that status quo and challenges the reader to think beyond what is traditionally expected and accepted.
Did you ever wish on a shooting star? Did your wish come true? For Brad and Mackenzie a major life change is what happened. Their innocent beginnings evolve into a spiritual journey that takes them down a complicated path that leads them into uncharted territory. Pushing the boundaries of love and friendship, they challenge societal expectations with only their heart's justification. Through their own experiences, they see life and the world from two unique perspectives; his from introspect, hers from family. They are both seeking the meaning of life. Their complex relationship begins to blend into discovering their truths, for themselves and each other. When the excitement of hope is within their reach, the universe unleashes new trauma into play that changes everything and deeply question those truths.
