Peter's Story

It is a truism that life can change in significant ways when someone comes into unexpected wealth. Peter Zapoti is surprised, as is his half sister Virginia, by how much money and real estate their late father, John Zapoti, leaves to both of them in his will. While the windfall allows Peter the opportunity to pursue his dream of writing serious fiction, to give up his day job as a restaurant reviewer and write his first novel, he finds himself afraid to make the plunge. What if he fails? Will his desired identity be no longer available to him? Will he discover it's only been a fantasy, that he is no better than a hack writer? While he works out his destiny, his sister Virginia also makes a significant discovery, about how she really feels about this long lost half-brother of hers.
