Invisible Scars

by Burt Boyar

Overview

Invisible Scars is a novel set in Texas and Spain. It is the story of a beautiful, wealthy Texas girl, America Harvey, who suffers a personal tragedy, the needless death of her five year old daughter. She does her best to cope with the loss, becoming a jet pilot and finally starting her own airline delivery service, out of Love Field in Dallas, then goes to Spain to visit her best friend whom she met when the friend's father was the Spanish Ambassador to the United States. While there she meets a fabulous looking, elegant, super charming, immensely wealthy, and thoroughly married nobleman, Alfonso, Duke of Tarifa. He has a large family of children but his marriage was one of convenience and permits him to have a love affair with America Harvey. When he begins explaining his background (flashing back to the year 800 when his family's blood began turning blue) we see Madrid in the 30's and the most vivid explanation of what caused the Spanish Civil War. It is horrifying, the most awful example of man's inhumanity to man, on both sides. Two damaged souls, Alfonso and America, search for healing through their love, taking dangerous risks that could tear them apart, plummeting them from Castles in Spain to Spanish prisons.

About the Author

Burt was a syndicated Broadway columnist in New York until he and his late wife, Jane, met and became best friends with Sammy Davis, Jr. and together they wrote Sammy's internationally Best Selling autobiography, YES I CAN. The NY Herald Tribune critic, Maurice Dolbier,called it "One of the most candid, engrossing and important American autobiographies of our time." And Brothers Judd-Audible.com wrote, "..one of the really great autobiographies ever written."
Jane and Burt rented a beach house in Marbella, Spain for 9 months and stayed for 28 years, giving up a rent-controlled apartment on Park Avenue in New York. They traveled the world for two years with the greatest tennis players of the time, Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, etc and wrote the novel WORLD CLASS based on the dynamics of the world class athlete. Then, with Sammy, they wrote WHY ME? a sequel to YES I CAN. And, as a result of living in Spain for so long, in a house owned by General Franco's daughter, they wrote the historically valuable HITLER STOPPED BY FRANCO. After Jane's passing of a heart attack in her sleep Burt returned home to the U.S and settled in Los Angeles.
