Just Aim

The boy asked, "They ever lose their temper or get out of control?"
"Funny you ask that Toby. Once in a while, a player who's struggling
to hit a desired shot may express disappointment similar to a person
whose truck doesn't start on a cold morning. It's the awareness that
something they believed to be dependable actually isn't."
This modern-day American tale depicts characters of different and
divergent paths and how they deal with unanswered questions and
unattained goals. They deploy universally shared emotions of greed,
hope, anger, longing, frustration, embarrassment, and disappointment.
How these emotions are deployed is what makes this novel hard to put
down. Bailey seduces the reader with the same adroitness one would
use to hand-feed a squirrel. Strong-minded women willing to take
risks and tough men whose vulnerabilities get in the way are attributes
Bailey coats with a layer of light-hearted romance. Whether its F1
formula racing, racquetball, archery, surfing, darts, sailing, gambling,
or big business, victory isn't seen as the most righteous endgame if it
doesn't preserve the good.
