Breech Baby - Paperback

by Ed Ryan (Author)

"Thank you for the pleasure the novel afforded me. It was a true delight to be in the hands of a craftsman who clearly relishes the game of words and their interplay with human fantasy, desire, emotion, and longing." - Paul De Angelis. The Independent Editors Group

Bryan is a 12 year-old foster child who fosters a child of his own, an alternate personality, which helps him cope with his disturbing past and navigate the absurd present. Born of a delivery so traumatic it would be the envy of any UPS driver, Bryan is bounced around from home to home until he finally settles with a rich couple on Long Island.

Abnormally intelligent, he completes a college curriculum before reaching puberty. Now his parents want to showcase their child prodigy by sending him away for more schooling. Afraid they will not survive higher education, Bryan and his secret friend contrive an escape plan which will lead them to the top of the broadcasting capital of the world. The problem is; only one of them will survive.

When the time comes, can these two best Freudian friends separate after having been together for so long?

BREECH BABY is the story of love, forgiveness, and multiple-self-realizations.
