By the time he was a teenager Terry was interacting with customers, solving problems, and learning how to deal with different types of people. This proved to be the perfect environment to prepare him for a career in human resources. This all changed late in Terry’s career when he succumbed to temptation and had an inappropriate relationship with a woman that worked for him. Terry not only lost his job and his standing in the community, but the woman filed erroneous charges, resulting in Terry’s arrest, incarceration and eventual trial.The whole experience left an indelible mark on Terry, but propelled him into writing this novel.
