THE REAPPEARING is a novel about transformation and about reappearing to oneself as somebody renewed, restored, and different. It is a novel about apparitions and about a lost boyfriend who reappears on several occasions to remind the girl that he loves not to forsake her pledge to rescue him from the sleep that imprisons him. It is a novel about doubles-about twin brothers who are identical yet different and about two other youths whose conflicted lives mirror each other's life. It is a novel about doubleness-about the female protagonist's devious plot to use social media so that she can steal another girl's boyfriend. Her doubleness also includes her betrayal of the pledge that she had made to the sleeping youth who truly loves her.
It is, in part, a dark story about a devious fifteen-year-old youth's tryst with an equally deceitful married woman. It is also about the doubleness of parents who conceal their negligence and their indifference behind a façade of luxury and privilege. It is a novel about sleeping princes-not only about the comatose youth who is ideal in every way, but also about the two personable, male adolescents who, after losing their best selves because of their wildness and their addictions, struggle to reinvent themselves and to reappear as newborn individuals. It is a novel, too, about those princes of industry-young and older-who are morally asleep, having betrayed their better natures and the wellbeing of their employees. Finally, THE REAPPEARING is a novel about calling ourselves awake so that we can rescue those persons who need our help.
