The Fire Burns Bright
In the fall 2016, the fiction pages of aaduna shared a flame of buoyant hope, compassionate wit and a genial creativity that was destined to continue to evolve.
Daniel R. Goodman, Esq. penned an exquisite story, and that tale also illuminated a simple fact. It forecast more compelling work to come. In the summer 2020, the gift of words came to life, finally.
Goodman manifested a work that was years in the making.
His first novel.
In Daniel’s words, “It's about a Jewish man of color whose romantic relationship with a white Christian woman forces him to grapple with his religious and racial identities. The novel intersects with BLM issues (there is a key scene in which he has a confrontation with a white police officer), as well as with a variety of social, philosophical, political, and even theological questions. All of which is wrapped up within a poignant, often humorous, page-turning love story.”

book in the Amazon link:
In these 21st century times
of societal upheaval generated by a global health pandemic, social justice
challenges and crisscrossing, diametrically opposing political attitudes fueled
by race, class, and culture, “A Single Life” may be a respite from the national
turmoil. Just maybe.
