It is a story filled with images that he tries to rearrange into a whole and give meaning to it. Under the watchful eye of Wanda Poltawska, who is a psychiatrist, he puts his life in order, as if it were a movie production. The protagonist of the book is a man in his forties - a Pole who grows up in post-communist times. His burning desire is to become a movie director. It is a turning point in his life - since then, his life is heading for a downfall, loss of identity and dignity.Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who was friends with Dr Poltawska, used to say that a fallen man is like a gold bar that fell into mud.

As Claire huddles in the hallway of her school air raid sirens are blasting. Moments of terror elapse. Kids silently cover their heads and kneel on the floor, not knowing if this is a practice drill or the real thing - the last moments of their very existence Turning sixteen is not so sweet when the year is 1962 and the threat of nuclear annihilation is imminent. Tenafly, a small town, just across the Hudson River from New York City, is Claire's home. But its proximity to the nation's largest city also puts it directly in the path of Russian missiles that could be launched at any moment as the world teeters on the edge of war thanks to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Visiting a bomb shelter gives Claire and her friends the chilling sense that they have peeked into a set for a play of the future, and they did not like what they saw. Those few locked inside the shelter would see nuclear winter when, and if, they ever came out. Those without a shelter would find their end sooner in the dramatic final explosions of missiles all around them. The reality of these alternatives shatter Claire's psyche. President Kennedy addresses the nation on the evening news: "The purpose of these bases (in Cuba) can be none other than to provide a nuclear strike against the Western Hemisphere." Panic builds to a point of total chaos. Retreating from the horrific reality of potential world destruction, Claire escapes into her imagination. With the world seeming to be on a track too awful to contemplate, will Claire find hope to survive in her family sanctuary on Lake Wanda? A work of historical fiction THE PRINCE OF LAKE WANDA takes the reader back to the tense time when the United States stood on the brink of nuclear war. Sixteen year-old Claire and an unlikely descendent of the Lenape tribe of Native Americans encounter the events that were shattering the national psyche with a mystical journey grounded in local history of Northern New Jersey.

Why would she do it?It's close to midnight at the South Florida newspaper where Alton works when he decides to take a break from writing his story and calls Wanda, an old Chicago friend whom he hasn't spoken to in over a year, to see how she's getting along. When Wanda's daughter Corinne answers the phone, she doesn't remember Alton and is wary of why he is calling. Eventually Corinne informs him that her mother died quite some time ago, but that she left him a small package. If Alton wants to find out what is in the package, Corinne says he will have to come to Chicago to pick it up because that's what her mother specified in writing on the package itself.Soon after hanging up from Corinne, Alton calls a mutual friend who knew Wanda well to find out what she may know about what happened. What he discovers is that the woman whom he once loved to the point of distraction didn't just die, she set herself on fire in her car then drove into an oncoming truck.Why would she do it?Trying to unravel not only why Wanda committed suicide (and why he may have been at least partially responsible) but why she felt compelled to leave him a mysterious farewell package more than 10 years after a much younger, much angrier, much more confused Alton had fled Chicago while there was still enough of him left to save is what prompts him to return there and retrace the steps of his considerably less stable past. In the process Alton is forced to confront a simmering lifelong internal race and class conflict that drew the Colorado native away from the assured comforts provided by the protected environment of a respected upper middle class black family to Chicago's South Side, the tangled emotional web of a sharp-edged ex-prostitute, and a bitter, broken down hustler Alton 'hires' to wreak havoc in Wanda's life as recompense for a perceived slight. For reasons Alton has never been willing to face he has always felt compelled to prove his blackness, but only after allowing his racial identity to be defined by others whom he has viewed as more authentically black than himself. An elusive pursuit of a musical and writing career leads him down unexpected self-exploratory alleys and back roads that sometimes lead to an uncomfortable and unintended exploration of internal sexual conflicts as well. But the harder he struggles to define his specific place in the world, the more blurred those boundaries become. At its heart, "Fire and Wanda" is a dual mystery; the mystery behind a heartbroken ex-prostitute's suicide and the mystery of a young man's fractured identity. In America you can be anybody you want to be, and living a lie is only a lie if you believe the truth.
