Blind Ambition: A Love Story

In Blind Ambition A Love Story, a fictional memoir, author Bonnie S. Davis tells her story based on true life events in the first person voice of Susan Lucas. The story begins when a terrifying fall causes Susan to question why she didn't see the danger signs. The fragrance of the musty flowered wallpaper fills her head as her body rubs against the wall of the dark hallway. Each step is guarded as she inches her way forward into the overpowering blackness toward the open stairwell under the poorly lit Exit sign. It is a hard, bone-shattering fall. Numerous fire escape steps built to save now serve as her abuser as they fracture and dislocate her tumbling body before slamming her into the security door at the bottom. The nightmare ends when she rolls out onto the busy sidewalk on Main Street. The day thirty-seven year-old realtor, Susan Lucas, receives a prestigious sales award she plummets down several steps in an apartment building she is showing to a perspective buyer. When she is told her fall is the result of a progressive eye disease she accelerates her career goals before she loses her vision. This fear based decision forces her to choose between the people she loves and an obsession to beat the clock before time runs out. Susan's twenty-five year multi-level love story is filled with humor, inspiration and second chances. The book is a must read for anyone who is struggling with a loss or has been forced off the beaten path by a life-changing event.
