A NOVEL. Addiction tests everything. Especially the people we love. And for Alex Whittaker, nothing comes before the health of his brother Malcolm - a struggling alcoholic. But after years of caring for his brother, Alex wants more. He wants to start a family with his fiancé. He wants to take his job more seriously. He wants to be free of worry. So Alex gives his brother one last chance for sobriety. But something strange passes over the small city of Saint Peter. Something Alex and Malcolm don't understand. Something the government doesn't want the world to know about. And something that will put these brothers in more danger they ever thought possible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This story is based on my own experiences with addiction and love of friends and family, with a twist to keep the writing fun. It's not intended to be derogatory. I just wanted a way to express the way while creating the kind of story I enjoy to read. I hope you enjoy the story, learn something new, and have fun 🙂🥳
