The Return of the Bad Penny (A Sea Story)

by Les Bryan

Overview

THOSE WHO CAN’T TEACH
Through the eyes of most, Will Perkins has done well – Ivy League college, successful few years as a Naval officer, secure teaching position in a Boston high school, and marriage to his college sweetheart. They live quietly, comfortably, perhaps complacently in one of the nicest parts of Boston. Still, from Will’s perspective he has just drifted into his contented life, and some questions remain about his own courage and dreams.
RED SKY AT MORNING
Will must confront his insecurities arising from bullying, indecision about the life he’s leading, and guilt when a character from his past comes demanding favors. Will is forced to re-live and re-evaluate events from his past, events which involved Will in a terrible crime.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
It was a meticulous plan and well-rehearsed that would make several sailors rich and also destroy the ship and several lives.
BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
There seems to be no way to a happy ending for Will. He can’t just drift on but must finally confront the past, his wife, himself, and The Bad Penny.
