The novel, The Windfall, tells of one man's dream of receiving a windfall of money which will enable him to start a business and help his family prosper. He gets his wish in an unprecedented way, and because of the windfall, his life and the life of his family is turned upside down. His strong desire is for things to be as they were before the windfall, but, some in the family find themselves in a radical, different way of thinking. This is unlike the way they usually feel, for they now seek vengeance for what was done to one they love. A resulting trial is devastating for the entire family since the prosecution has an airtight case. Even with an excellent defense lawyer, the prosecutors feel they cannot lose, so strong is the evidence they have. The newspapers have a conviction determined even before the trial begins. And still, the windfall sits, hidden from view, unused and is a curse to our hero's existence. The criminals, who actually lay claim to the money, are after it and after him, through his wife and even his children. He wants to protect his family, but in doing so finds only more trouble. The exciting finale will thrill and please the reader. The novel will bring to mind, the difference between good and evil, and whether a person, so genuinely evil, deserves to live.
