After a business trip to New York, advertising executive Judd Wilder returns to Pennsylvania, where he plans to drop off the annual stockholders’ report with his boss at Crouch Carpet Company. There’s no warning, no premonition of disaster, just a slight case of indigestion, which escalates into debilitating pain. Taken by ambulance to the local hospital, Judd at first refuses to believe that he has suffered a heart attack. Dr. Aaron Kharr specializes in cardiac behavior patterns. In Judd, he sees a businessman in his peak stress years whose long-building tensions have erupted in an emotional hurricane. Kharr’s goal is to heal both Judd’s mind and his body. As the doc studies the events in his patient’s past that have led to this point, Judd’s company undergoes a change of ownership and reorganization that mirrors his own recovery. With its multi-layered plot and teeming canvas of characters, including Judd’s wife, Kay; their son, Rolfe; and the fascinating Matthew Crouch, The Hurricane Years is a captivating novel about the rewards and pitfalls of corporate life. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 569 pages .
