Low Man is one of those books that makes you sit and reflect for a few moments when you are finished reading. It is a story about the strength of love and the sacrifices a young man makes to protect and provide for his family. Benny Assissi and his wife are going through the hardest of times; he's working at a convenience store and the pay is just not enough. This is causing stress in the marriage, but Benny is not a quitter and is determined to pull his family through this rough time. While Benny is working the late night, he is robbed at gunpoint, but also receives word that his son is sick and being taken to the hospital. He is unwilling to lose his job so he chases down the robber. This sets a chain of supernatural events into motion that affect Benny and the robber, and pit good against evil. A sub-plot centers around the wife's experience in the emergency room and touches on how uninsured individuals are treated in the medical system. Very poignant ending...unique story, well written.… (mehr)
