Description
Is Success More Important Than Love?
With Clear and a Million, bestselling author Kent McInnis brings us back to the flawed, feeling, and completely authentic characters from his hit debut, Sierra Hotel.
Returning to civilian life sounded easy back when Rob Amity was flying jets for the U.S. Air Force. The reality of an empty apartment and the difficulty of finding his place in a civilian world soon have him rethinking his choices. Hoping to find something of the old camaraderie of the squadron flight line, Rob reaches out to his friend Captain Hal Freed, a decorated Vietnam combat veteran. They agree to a road trip on historic Route 66 in Rob's sporty new Porsche, headed for the Grand Canyon. The adventures they find, however, are not quite the kind they seek.
After the trip is cut short, Rob returns to Oklahoma and reconnects with his old flame Suzy Alexander. The widow of his late best friend is now a single mother living with her parents, and she's as lonely and depressed as he is. As romance blooms anew with Suzy, her father helps Rob find a job in the booming local oil business. Intent on proving himself worthy of Suzy's love, he throws himself into the work with abandon and quickly begins to climb the corporate ladder. Life seems to be coming together at last, until Rob's obsession with replacing the thrill of flying with money and security leads to trouble with Suzy. Can he find a way to balance the two and find some sort of happiness for himself? Or will he be forced to make an impossible choice between love and success?
