WILDFLOWERS

Beschreibung

Wildflowers is an action-adventure novel based on actual events in 1968 about an ex-Playboy Bunny named Lisa who kidnaps her two sons from school, Teddy and Cody, ages nine and ten-that she lost custody of to the boy's grandparents-for being deemed an unfit single mother by the California Dept. of Social Services. Caught between two worlds-the boys must choose between them. Against their better judgment-Cody and Teddy decide with their hearts over their heads and allow their mom to kidnap them from school where the threesome escape without being caught. Undaunted, Lisa's parents hire her ex-husband Sean, a private detective, to find the boys and bring Lisa to justice and the boys back to safety. Determined to do things her way and escape the boy's persistent father without leaving a trail, Lisa and the boys hitch-hike across the USA from San Diego, California to Miami, Florida, barely avoiding apprehension every step of the way. From there they travel by boat to the Bahamas where they meet a debonair and widowed casino operator Roger, whom Lisa falls in love with and the boys adore. With theirs dreams about to come true-they're suddenly shattered by gangsters, a hurricane, and buried treasure. Or are they?

Autor

Corey Lee Wilson was raised an atheist by his liberal Playboy Bunny mother, has three Anglo-Latino siblings, a brother who died of AIDS, a biracial daughter, baptized a Protestant by his conservative grandparents, attended temple with his Jewish foster parents, baptized again as a Catholic for his first Filipina wife, attends Buddhist ceremonies with his second Thai wife, became an agnostic on his own free will for most of his life, and is a lifetime independent voter.Corey felt the sting of intellectual humility by repeating the 4th grade and attended 18 different schools (17 in California and one in the Bahamas) before putting himself through college at Mt. San Antonio College (without parents) and Cal Poly Pomona University (while on triple secret probation). Named Who's Who of American College Students in 1984, he received a BS in Economics (summa cum laude) and won his fraternity's most prestigious undergraduate honor, the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity's Shideler Award, both in 1985.As a satirist and fraternity man, Corey started Fratire Publishing in 2012 and transformed the fiction "fratire" genre to a respectable and viewpoint diverse non-fiction genre promoting practical knowledge and wisdom to help everyday people navigate safely through the many hazards of life. In 2019, he founded the SAPIENT Being to help promote freedom of speech, viewpoint diversity, intellectual humility and most importantly advance sapience in America's students and campuses.
