Sequin Boy and Cindy is an ambitious, sweeping tour de force by Arthur
Levine, which examines the "circle of life". It is a touching story
revolving around Billy and Cindy, penniless, lost souls who meet while
young and naïve, fall in love, overcome adversity, have a family, find
success and live the American dream, ultimately giving back to others
less fortunate. While describing their journey, the author tackles
(often with a dose of humor) subjects ranging from support for returning
war veterans, living and dealing with disfiguring war injuries,
politics, street gangs, education, the power of the media, raising
children, balancing work and family to most importantly, true love,
which holds the two together through all their difficulties, defeats and
triumphs, even in the face of death. Like life itself, the story
quickly moves from one chapter to another painting a rich picture of
life's challenges and rewards in the process. Sequin Boy and Cindy is
an interesting, provocative and moving read, which I highly recommend.
Congratulations Arthur. Great job!
