The Final Exam

The Final Exam, a compelling and witty novel, is the emotional account of an unlikely foursome of memorable characters who each mirror the complexities of their generation. Greg, a successful businessman in his early forties, reevaluates his life after suffering a family tragedy and returns to college to pursue a new career as a teacher. Lydia, a thirty-one-year-old Jewish woman, belatedly begins her senior year at the same school, determined to work through the remorse of her doomed marriage. Tom and Jack, both twenty-three, are childhood friends who finally move beyond their adolescent adventures and hijinx to commence their final year at Yorkstone University in rural Pennsylvania. United by fate, there was only one thing these four dissimilar individuals shared prior to graduating in 2003: the consequences of their past selfish actions. Together, will they at last pass the final exam of life?
