Chicago Pre-Boomers [EPUB ebook] 

Many place self-interest above personal relationships, but Shawn Butler’s priorities differ. He seeks to elevate people, not defeat them. When solving problems, Shawn collaborates rather than competes.

In dealing with matters such as a fist fight or a Marine hitch, he strives to maintain his perspective. Later, Shawn enlists his supporters to help him cope with a senseless tragedy.

As he assembles and trains teams, his nerdy best friend, Nick, analyzes situations. When these two men face high-stakes decisions, their friendship is threatened.

Most people have a price. Will Shawn discover this?
