The Soaring Hawk - Paul Devito - Bog

Paul is living at a halfway house with a couple of other guys, all overcoming their addictions. Here, he has met two women; Linda and Laura. Laura is another addict whereas Linda is here on a break from Syracuse. Although attracted to both, Paul proposes to Linda, thinking her stable mental attitude and youthfulness will help him focus on getting better and keeping on track. When Linda heads back for Syracuse, Paul is confused about his feelings and decides to instead try his luck with Laura. Laura's unpredictability sometimes throws Paul and gets him confused in all kinds of ways. He likes his freedom but thinks he has something good with Laura too. As is often seen in recovering addicts, Paul's emotions are always all over the place and he keeps going back from Laura to Linda, unable to make up his mind.
