Soon he finds his literary aspirations overwhelmed by surprising new distractions. AS UNOFFICIAL HISTORIAN OF THE CLASS OF 64, Jack Benz has his own reasons to locate Cynthia Larson, the one-time Prom Queen and social diva who has inexplicably become HIs obsession. Though she had never paid attention to the likes of him, there is an unexpected urgency in his need to find her. FOUR TIRED AND LONELY SOULS, who have spent a lifetime becoming who they are. Yet even in their October Years they find themselves still in a ‘BECOMING' mode, continuing their life journey from one circumstance to another---still Becoming.
