A Trip To The Stars
(Nicholas Christopher)
This is a star-studded mystery filled with the many twists and turns of a labyrinth. The tale begins when a young couples? fatal car accident throws their adopted son, Loren, into the hands of his only remaining adoptive relative, his aunt Alma. But at a Manhattan planetarium during the year of 1965, the ten-year-old boy is kidnapped; triggering the fifteen-year search for all that has been lost.
Loren, a boy with an unknown past and no pre-determined future suddenly finds himself hurtled into a world where fantasy and reality walk a fine line as he connects the stars amidst a cobweb of betrayal to discover the family who he never had a chance to encounter. Provided with all the finest pleasures life can offer, Loren matures in a world where the only thing that he cannot be given are the answers to the questions that plague his mystifying existence. At the same time, Loren?s grieving aunt, Alma, is lost in her own quest when she enlists as a Navy nurse at the height of the Vietnam War to escape a menagerie of demons that lie inside the deepest corners of her mind.
This staggering account traces the steps of both Alma and Loren, until they find transformed versions of another and ultimately themselves. The greatest lesson to be learnt from this spine-tingling feast for the imagination is the question that we as humans are posed with everyday: just how far must we venture to find our own identity and our purpose for being here?The story is a magical tale of destiny reminiscent to the fairy tales that we ourselves foster. A Trip to the Stars takes you across the seas, past the sands of time and to the stars of our galaxy in a tale of lost and found. It feeds you what you crave most whether it is romance, pain, pleasure, enlightenment, magic, or intellect
