INTRODUCTION

Zack Richards has just turned fifty. His mother passed away a year ago from breast cancer. Six months ago, "the most beautiful girl in the world" (as Zack referred to her) his wife Julie was killed by a drunk driver. Now his father has become ill with some very peculiar symptoms. Then to top it off his job as an engineer at Hunter Motors is being seriously threatened. When all this is put together, Zack is going through a mid-life crisis of monumental proportions. After a series of foreign and unexpected events, Zack decides to begin a spiritual journey in the quest of nothing less than…the meaning of life! Why are all the important people in my life leaving me and where are they now that they’re gone, are the questions that fuel Zack’s mission.

In the midst of his searching, Zack’s sister-in-law introduces him to a beautiful, confident, but vulnerable Brenda. His best friend’s wife introduces him to the perky, vivacious and extremely vulnerable Sara. Zack is torn between Brenda, who it appears would be a perfect match for him, and Sara, a much younger, and even though extremely seductive, is in reality a wounded little bird. Just when Zack is sure he has had enough drama for two lifetimes, he is surprised to find that one of his relationships has gotten him sucked into a dark world of control and manipulation.

Will Zack make the right decision between these two intriguing women? Will his livelihood at Hunter Motors stay intact? Will his father stay among the living or follow in the footsteps of his other members? Will he be able to survive the escalating events he has reluctantly found himself involved in? And finally, will Zack ever find the answers he needs to quench his growing thirst for the meaning of life? 

You are invited to join Zack Richards on this emotional roller coaster of twists and turns as these events unfold in, “Longer Than You’re Alive”.
