Coming to Terms is a novel exploring the lives of half a dozen friends and colleagues of differing generations'”Hippies and Boomers, Gen-Xers and Vietnam and World War II veterans'” as they strive to find meaning and happiness in the tidal wave of change inundating the America of the late 20th century and the beginnings of the 21st. All are caught up in a struggle with themselves and each other in trying to move their lives forward and make sense of their respective pasts, their personal commitments as wives and mothers, husbands and fathers, lovers and loners, young and old, heterosexuals and homosexuals, soldiers and civilians. As they come to terms with their pasts, they define their presents and discover their futures, some willingly, but most reluctantly. In doing so, they fracture the circles of their families, friendships and allegiances, and discover the prices human beings must pay in contending with society's constraints on the individual's struggle for freedom and pursuit of happiness.Rothberg, Abraham is the author of 'Coming to Terms', published 2007 under ISBN 9781847283191 and ISBN 1847283195.
