Larry Plumb Is Still Here - Paperback

by P. a. Kane (Author)

It's 3:41 a.m. and fifty-six-year-old Larry Plumb isn't fluffing his pillow or lumbering to the bathroom to relieve himself. Larry Plumb is wide awake-ready to attack a new day.

Over the course of four terms, Larry has proven himself an effective Highway Commissioner and Senior Utility Specialist in his suburban Western New York town. Before work, he'll care for pets, complete a workout, decode some poetry, and add a few pages to his novel-accomplishing more before dawn than most do in a day.

Despite all his dynamism, the world is pushing back against him. His wife and kids call him toxic and out of touch, his work crews are increasingly confrontational, and the townspeople he's served with distinction for thirty-seven years now harangue and denounce him.

As challenges come hard and fast from all sides, Larry must decide: Will he quietly resign from the world or prove once more that he's a man of gravity, a man of consequence-a man the world can't ignore?
