Many place self-interest above personal relationships, but Shawn Butlers priorities differ. He seeks to elevate people, not defeat them. When solving problems, Shawn collaborates rather than compete.
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 his?
About the author
Born and raised in Chicago, the author took full advantage of learning opportunities afforded him as a youth in an evolving city. A career educator, he earned a bachelor’s degree, two master’s degrees, and two doctorates, largely courtesy of the GI Bill. In a lifetime of writing, he prepared dissertations, grants, newsletters, reports, theses, and speeches.
Married for fifty years, the Jacksons have five children and nine grandchildren. Richard presents his tale as testimony to the resilient character of Chicago’s citizens. While realizing that no single novel can fully capture the city’s greatness, he hopes Chicago Pre-Boomers takes a step in that direction.
