Works
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
The saying, between the devil and the deep blue sea, is an old nautical idiom referring to a dilemma.
The novel is set during the social turmoil of the early 1970s, and recounts the conundrum facing a young man who must flee a dangerous life on the street.
Desperate, he enlists into a Navy in transition where he seeks to find redemption in a world he didn't know existed.
