Moments of Doubt
About the novel: Eli Shaffner had it all—an attractive, intelligent girlfriend, a wealthy family, the perks of privilege. It was the opportunity to build the kind of life most people can only dream about. But a few obstacles got in his way—lust, pride, and a high-minded sense of professional purpose. In the darkly comic tradition of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, Moments of Doubt is the emotionally charged account of how a man makes his way through passion, pain, and paradox toward the cathartic realization that sometimes, in the end, the very things you thought were destroying your life prove to be the only things that can make you happy.
