Alan and Donna, in their early twenties, fall in
love in
Washington
,
D.C.
, as World War II draws to a close. Alan is compelled
to write a novel that will expose
his stepfather as his father’s murderer. Despite Alan’s slow
recovery from a war wound and conflicts arising from prior
involvements, they pursue an intense affair.
Social
changes and Alan’s meager income as a musician strain the
relationship. Then
Alan takes a more direct approach to avenging his father’s
death…Unforeseen events, as well as latent depths of
character, drive the surprising conclusion.
The Burden of
Matter is not a ‘romance’. Vibrant with suspense and
drama of the war years, it is a realistic, graphic story of two
lovers’ worst and best days during a turbulent time in
America.
