    About this ebook

    Alexander makes an unfortunate choice that leads to a shocking turn of events. On his twenty-fourth birthday, his high school bully beats him up and leaves him for dead on a frozen street of his hometown. Shame and a growing dependency on prescription drugs and alcohol influence his decision to move to a farmhouse sanctuary in Mennonite country, where he falls into the arms of Becky Gingerich, a bully herself, while lusting after Malcolm, the guy next door.

    Ed Berger

    Ed Berger's writing started with children's writing then poetry. One day, he noticed a posting in the laundry room of his building, for a writing therapy group, at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital. Ed has been diagnosed with a chronic debilitating illness. This group allowed him to discover that the written words of his life, the words that were so difficult, started to flow, freeing him, to dream again. After many night classes, he began writing a novel, “Flight,” one of its many titles over the years.
