What Happened to Him? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956920123)

What Happened to Him? is a coming-of-age tale that explores the confluence of journalism and politics through the eyes of a young man experiencing first love, losses and the struggles to find a path in life.

We were all young once-or are young now. We asked ourselves or are presently asking, "What should I become when I grow up?"

Sometimes, the answer to this question was prescribed by others, but it was challenged. And often, there was no prescription. But each of us struggles to find an identity that will stand the test of time; one that will respond to the demons of our younger years. Looking back-in remembering others and as we wonder about that young person we once were-we sometimes ask, "What happened to him?"

After his sophomore year in college, Paul Newton accepts a summer internship with a weekly newspaper. The newspaper's publisher suggests a research project Paul that could turn into his senior year baccalaureate thesis. The project would be an investigation into the disappearance of a young politician whose promising career had collapsed and whose life had fallen apart.

What Happened to Him? tells of Paul's effort to comprehend that missing politician's life and career at the same time as Paul seeks to choose a path for his own life.
