    <body><![CDATA[You can't help but find the anger, comedy, raw sexuality, confused emotions, and healing a fresh voice in American Literature. Nothing is sugar coated in this fast paced novel.<br/>Ray lives on the edge with fanatic frenzy and the steely nerves of an ACE fighter pilot. <br/>Fasten your seat belt!]]></body>
