This is a story about a family of three wherein all members fulfill their dreams in different,sometimes amazing, ways.
This is the first part of a Trilogy in which three generations of Baldwin family reach out, each to their ultimate potential . Alec meets his own self among the stars, father, Alec Sr., challenges the elements in the open sea, and mother attempts to follow the great masters and leave at least one immortal work of art behind her.
All three meet their wildest dreams, often in most unexpected ways.
Originally, part of this novel was published under the title of The Princess, which is still available in its original form, suitable principally for young adults. After many requests from readers demanding to know what happened to Alec's parents, the author expanded the novel to meet the expectations of his followers. He thanks you for your advice.
Professional Reviews
Humour, adventure, paranormal
Having read The Princess almost two years ago, I often wondered what Alec’s parents did while their son was gallivanting in the paranormal worlds. Now, at last, we know where Alec “came from”. His father, an engineer dreaming of conquering the seven seas, his mother bent on creating a painting, rivaling the great masters, wherein all people at the last judgment go to directly heaven.
What extraordinary idea!
Whichever dream you’ll find more fascinating, you will enjoy this rich mélange of the close-knit family who share their lives to the full. The art-world of Montreal, the Caribbean seas, or Alec’s esoteric wandering with his mysterious Princess, are yours to share. And even more so, you’re bound to enjoy the author’s abundant sense of humor.
Will have you in stitches
“I followed Alec every step on his escapades. Then I sailed his ship, fought battles on Lake Champlain. Finally he swept me off my feet in an exotic tango. I decided to create a dream-world of my own. And, who knows, perhaps one day my Prince will appear…”
This is what I’d written on Dec.29, 2010.
And now, lo and behold, Alec’s parents have joined the cavalcade of adventures, which opens this book to a vast new audience. And most of all, the humor which the author added to the interaction of the close-knit family will have you in stitches. I couldn’t put the book down. It swept me alone at a rate normally reserved for suspense novels. Yet, here I was, missing half the night to share in the Baldwin family’s adventures. So will you!
Normal, paranormal, and fun
This is a strange duet between young Alec’s imaginary ventures into the paranormal worlds and his parent’s real, down-to-earth attempts to match his experiences in “real life”. I found myself musing of Alec’s wonder-worlds and feeling the Caribbean breeze on my cheeks at the helm of a 42 foot yacht, at the same time.
Only Stan Law can interpolate such diversity into a single story and make it not only believable but also thoroughly enjoyable. The young will follow Alec’s ventures, the adults the dreams of Alec Sr., his father, and Alicia, is mother. When taken together, the reader will double with laughter at the succinct, slightly sardonic, exclusively Law’s sense of humor. I can thoroughly recommend this novel to all ages. We can only imagine where the road Alec took will lead in Alexander and later in Sacha.
A way to use your mind for silent communication. Speaking about the methods in the book I have used since a young age.
