Fred Hermesmann

Dialogue with an Angel Fred Hermesmann Library edition

Happiness for Harry is big money in the bank and a trip to Whistler in his BMW. It's a weekend with his tax haven associates, and maybe some fun on the side. Fine. After a killing on the stock market, Harry plans another killing. He's going to dump his wife, Beatrice, and leave the twins and not-so-bright Charles, his son, and start living. . . for himself. But there's trouble on the road. A Hell's Angel annoys Harry, whose BMW has a blowout. As the biker approaches, Harry's faced with a deal: his tire gets fixed, but he has to talk to the stranger. What the Angel has to say at first mystifies but then intrigues Harry, and he realizes he's got the plot wrong. After their discussion, Harry is left enthused and energized. Which road will he take? Fred Hermesmann's fable of faith and modern morality touches many issues, not all of them comforable, and reminds us all of the power of love. Happiness doesn't always mean pleasing oneself. Can Harry heed the call? Have we left it too late?
