Equal And Opposite Reactions (Equal and Opposite Reactions Trilogy #1)

Description

"A rollicking good yarn." -R. Bruce Logan, author of Finding Lien

Set in working-class Northeast Philadelphia and told in urban voices, Equal And Opposite Reactions tells of the chain of events that unwinds when Sally Miller, a newly divorced, financially and emotionally struggling young mother and Silvio Jablonski, a broken-hearted plumber who shows up to fix Sally's toilet, learn to their shock that they have something strangely in common.

Sally and Silvio's discovery leads them down an emotional rabbit hole where their lives―and hearts―become entwined while they navigate a constellation of characters including Sally's ex-husband, an over-extended real-estate manager equally under the thumb of a mafiaesque South Philadelphia salvage yard operator and his mother; Silvio's seductive, sexually manipulative ex-wife; a young family of undocumented Nicaraguan immigrants and the socially-conscious African-American lawyer who becomes their advocate.

Followed by Hail Mary and Tropical Depression, Equal and Opposite Reactions is the first book of a trilogy of poignant comedies that together weave a continuing tale about human relationships and contemporary social issues.
