Medicine Wheel (Terpsichorean Sextet)

Frank St. Germaine has it all. He was handed the directorship of a noted ballet company in Quebec and a beautiful woman is by his side. After a difficult loss he creates "Medicine Wheel," a brilliant ballet that becomes his signature piece. But everything begins to unravel after a gorgeous young ballerina tempts him in a weak and confusing moment. He returns to New York and reinvents himself with the help of a fellow dancer. He runs with the higher circles and copes with everyday life that includes a teenage daughter who has become a Goth. Just as he is about to achieve an important goal, his new and hopeful life crashes horribly with an epoch tragedy. He loses everything including his best friend and is lured back toward substance abuse. Life and old age begin to catch up with him as he struggles to maintain some kind of status quo. When everything seems bleak, he encounters an unlikely person who gives him hope. This fourth volume encompasses the scope of 20+ years of artistic life in Montreal and New York City. It also explores an eyewitness account of one of the most horrific events of the twenty-first century.
