“A safe place isn’t a soft place.”
Have some unresolved conflict in your life messing up all your relationships? Feeling exasperated because you give it your best to fix the stuff you carry around but it never really gets resolved?
You might identify with Steven Kerner, the main character in Bruce McNicol, Bill Thrall, and John Lynch’s new novel “Bo’s Cafe’“.
Steven Kerner’s living the dream with his executive level job, beautiful wife and daughter, and even finds time to serve on Boards for charitable organizations. To look at his life, you’d think the guys got it all.
But wait, if this kind of life is what we all aspire to have then why is Steven Kerner calling the Marriott home and his wife contemplating divorce?
Enter Andy Monroe.
At first glance Steven sizes Andy up as an old Jimmy Buffet groupie with his Dodgers ball cap, ragged blue jeans and loud Hawaiin shirt. Looks can be and often are deceiving.
Steven is compelled to allow a friendship to develop mainly because Andy is a friend of his fathers. What follows is novel about true friendship which delves deep down to the heart of all our issues.
Andy, along with several of his friend’s, provide Steven with conversations that begin to shape his view of himself and of all others around him. The big question is whether he will accept the Truth and begin to live freely for the first time in his life.
I won’t give the main storyline away, suffice it to say that you will identify with the issues, your mind may be opened to many of our human ‘defense mechanism’, and perhaps you may find the answer you’ve been looking for all your life.
“Safe is a place where you can get out the worst thing about you
and they don’t run you off, talk you down, or head for the hills….
Safe is where you are loved more for revealing your ‘problems’, not less.”
I recommend this novel highly, for the theme, for the revelation of the process and for the colorful characters that come in and out of the story.
