Swap incorporates politics, movies, and baseball into an inspirational story about life's simplicities and what happens when choices make them complicated-think "Portnoy's Complaint" meets "Bull Durham."
Have you ever been out on a double date and found you have more in common with your friend's date than your own?
Swap is a fictional tale inspired by the New York Yankee family swap that occured back in the 70's. The story is told from each of the 4 protagonist's point of view.
Sheldon is half-Jewish and hearing impaired. It is his story.
Tom is a conspicuous womanizer.
Lucy is a political activist.
Eleanor is beautiful woman with a lot of ugly child hood memories.
Sheldon's mother keeps it all together with her wry knowledge of them all and the movies they would all be in if only life was more Hollywood like.
Excerpt
Its not that Sheldon wasn't happy with his wife and his daughter. It's just that he knew he would be happier with Lucy; she'd be happier with him; his wife would be happier with Tom, and Tom would be happier with Eleanor.
Sheldon could hear his mother now "What are you guys, a real life version of Bob& Ted & Carol & Alice?" He was sure she would say that. He was ready with his answer:
"Ummm, well...yes."
