I Wanna Be - a Diamond . . . Someday! Anton K. Vyborny

I Wanna Be - a Diamond . . . Someday! Geoff McEwen, a US Navy Vietnam veteran, has been married twice and divorced twice. After his second divorce, his address became the interstate, with a series of moves in a pattern of figure eights. Wherever he was, he needed to be someplace else. Self-imprisoned by his self-doubts, insecurities, and self-deprecation, he settled into a life of introspection, questioning his choices and beliefs and searching for something even he could not define. It was like living in the rearview mirror while life flashes bye* the windshield-spectating rather than participating. A chance meeting in a Montana bar with his old teammate Brian Wilkins from his days in the Vietnam War sets the stage in the first chapter for what will become his raison d'être. Subsequent chapters tell of his odyssey in his quest for self-discovery in a flashback. Chapters 40 and on through the ending pick up where he left off in chapter 1 and explain his reason for being back in Montana, where he comes to grips with old animosities and makes the only choice he is comfortable with. He reconnects with life. *Bye is used here in the sense of moving on to the next level without participation in the current level-as in football playoffs. Anton K. Vyborny
