Over the last twenty years of the 20th Century, set in Georgia and primarily in southern California, Patrick Kirk writes a fictional account of the lives of Bryan and Carolyn Jenkins as they traverse the "yuppies gotta have it all" lifestyle. The story is in some ways a high-tech suspense thriller; part romance, part spy novel. It is about business, mentorship, career changes and their effects on a marriage and having a family in the 90's. It's also about corporate corruption and greed and how the PC software revolution assisted in the decline in American business values. It's a dissection of the Enron-driven rolling electrical blackouts and the company's ultimate demise. Some of the story lines are imagined after people, places, events and technology encountered by the author during his thirty years in the PC software business.
