sixteen lives of adam

Novel about several characters lived through the eyes of one boy. This is part Quantum Leap and part Netflix style niche story of an eight year olds wish to live any life but his own. Waking up on his birthday, which is shared by the rest of the fifteen characters, he learns to be careful what he wishes for. He travels from SF living as a beauty pageant brat with two mom's, to Oakland as the teenage crippled son if a prostitute. From a suicide hotline worker to a reclusive former dolphin trainer. From a talk show teen with twenty baby daddy options to a swinger with no taboos. A suicidal sitcom star to aging talk show titan. Abused punk rock frontwoman to drug dealer in the closet. A male to female transgender to a cult leader in waiting. A truck driver serving time for hit and run to a lady's man on trial for insurence fraud. Sixteen Lives all lived in just one. Adam learns what life means and it's value by being someone else. The journey is long and his only real source of stability is the comic book hero Eternity Man and his Sidekick living parallel lives along his own. Bittersweet and engaging this is my second novel.
