Overview

On a fateful day in 1972, three college friends make a pact to meet twenty-five years later to discover how their different philosophies of life worked out only to realize that chasing their dreams was unfulfilling, even deadly. James, the Epicurean, pursues cultured pleasure from the international art world of New York City and Paris to revolution in Portugal. Freddy, embittered against God because of the death of his mother and mistreatment by his family, seeks knowledge as a means to power through his brilliant mind and ultimately LSD in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury. Bart, neglected by his hippie father and Marxist mother, becomes the president of a large business, believing that wealth will make him important and happy. Chasing the Wind carries the reader on a memorable journey through dramatic events from the 1960s to the 1990s, encountering tragedy, psychological trauma, philosophical disputes, political revolution, and murder. It challenges us to examine our own deepest beliefs and desires in life and to realize what brings true happiness.
