ADM Reviews 2015-2016 By Beverly Ingram 9/17/2015 A beautiful, strong and lasting marriage is built on a foundation of love, truth and lots of hard work. However, strong or powerful we think we are, we remain vulnerable and like a puzzle piece can become lost... In the debut novel " A Desperate Man " by Gayle Price Thomas, she depicts this through Dr Ruben Stacey. Dr Stacey has built a prominent career as a neurosurgeon while married to the love of his life. Then one day after more than twenty years of marriage his wife tells him some heartbreaking news. Dr Stacey, begins to take steps he thinks will allow them to hold on to the lifestyle he and his wife have worked so hard to achieve. Instead, the family of Dr Ruben Stacey becomes in tangled in a web of deceit,the author so cleverly builds up the suspense and uses important issues influencing families today to put the novels puzzle pieces in place yet leaves one lost piece, that will keep the reader turning pages until the end and wanting more of Dr. Ruben Stacey... A great debut!!
