The Gray Area Between

Do good deeds validate a man's legacy if they are based on a lie? When the lives of two men cross one seeks redemption while the other struggles to interpret the meaning of the word. And nothing is black and white.... Gloucester, Massachusetts, 1916 Young James Lawson's life changed the day he crushed his stepfather's skull. He enters World War I after being exiled from his home and community. After the war James settles into a life of crime in Boston. Many years later, his decision to go straight collides with an event that is not only life altering, but identity changing. Boston, Massachusetts, 1956 Reporter Myles Bingham investigates Boston's mystery man, a paralyzed veteran known only as Charlie. Rumors that Charlie may be hiding something spread throughout the hospital. Is he faking amnesia? Could he have been one of Hitler's spies put behind enemy lines to sabotage the allied troops? As Charlie's secret past haunts his dreams, he feels unworthy of the merits bestowed upon him for mentoring fellow soldiers and seeks the hospital chaplain to bear his burdens. But only under the protection of confession.... The Gray Area Between is a thought provoking story of life's regrets and a man's search for redemption to right his wrongs.
