movement.
Addresses the need for greater gender equality in the workplace, which has suddenly taken on a new
urgency.
The journey of two people trying to rebuild their lives together.

Jay knew it was wrong to sleep with a junior colleague, but until he was pulled into the dean’s office at the
university where he taught, he never imagined the encounter could be considered sexual assault. Yet Eve has
accused him of coercing her into bed in exchange for job benefits—and he thought they were in love.

What follows is Jay’s tortured journey back to the UK and forward to an uncertain future as he struggles to save
his marriage, his family and his career—while battling demons that had lain deep in his past since a traumatic
childhood accident.

Kenneth Grimes has had 20 years’ experience running non-profit organizations in the UK and the US. He has
written unpublished short stories and submitted and presented at a local performing arts organization. Born
and raised in the UK, he divides his time between Wiltshire and California.
