Loiacono Literary Agency welcomes Philip Levin and his novel Shattered Lives!

Shattered Lives tells of an American family devastated by the accidental death of the seventeen-year-old daughter.  The father, Rick, and son, Andrew, migrate from Chicago to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to escape the ghosts, where Rick falls in love with Andrew’s teacher. The sixteen-year-old Andrew must deal with the loss of his sister, a dramatic change in his culture, as well as a psychiatric issue.  When the mother, Mallory, comes down to try to remake the family, she reveals a dark secret about Rick that throws Andrew into a crisis.  Rick must decide whether to give up his new love and life for Andrew’s sake or risk the loss of son and livelihood.

Philip Levin’s passion for writing and photography has led him to exotic locations around the globe, inspiring his production of seventeen published books in multiple genres, such as his murder mystery Inheritance, photo children books such as the African Ndovu the Elephant, and his non-fiction anthologies on Mississippi history.  His background includes thirty-seven years as an emergency medicine physician. Shattered Lives is his second novel. President Gulf Coast Writer’s Association www.gcwriters.org
