Living in Wonderland (ePub)

Living in Wonderland is the second book in the trilogy that follows Ray Baker's pursuit of life, love, and the truth, which is most definitely out there.

Ray Baker has returned home from the otherworldly picnic on his farm down in Tennessee. Was it real or a dream? He doesn't care and has no interest in snooping down any more rabbit holes in search of the secrets of the universe. His only hope is to spend what time he has left making things right with Kayla. But can it be that easy?

Back in Manhattan, Ray needs to get on with his life as a retired detective with time on his hands. How much time is the question. His doctors have told him he only has months to live, but the time spent in the forest has reenergized him and given him a sneaking suspicion that death may not be at his doorstep. Kayla has made it clear that she is more than willing to pick up where they left off that night before he told her the truth. Despite his diagnosis and their vast age difference, she wants him. She needs him. Ray has a decision to make.

In McMinnville, Dr. Robert spoke often about free will. In Living in Wonderland, Ray comes to understand that all choices have consequences. Sometimes those consequences are trivial, but in matters of love, they can carry a heavy burden. Ray learns this lesson as he tries to navigate his growing feelings for Kayla, while once again dealing with the attentions of an unwelcome phenomenon. As the novel unfolds, Ray discovers the loneliness that comes from knowing that reality is nothing more than a construct to preserve a great secret. His only joy lies in charting his way forward with his young, yet spirited neighbor, whose love brings with it possibilities that strike at Ray's very core. Will her love save him or destroy him?
