David Nobile is a handsome industrial mechanic in a world of sledgehammers and chain falls by day and a compassionate single dad of two young children by night. He learns his ideals of fatherhood by a popular song on the radio and desires to meet the heart behind the music.
Riley Kragen is a beautiful aspiring singer/songwriter who is driven by an inner desire for an idyllic father figure she never knew. Meeting David, she is intrigued by his toughness and tenderness as he endeavors to help his children be the best they can be. She enters his world to find friendship and love.
But this new romance is soon under attack by a jealous ex-wife whose selfish motives of bitterness and revenge threaten to shatter David''s world, and take from him his only sources of love and happiness.
Based in part on the author''s own experiences, and set in the historic beauty of Charleston, SC, A Noble Paradise is a roller coaster ride of humor, wrath, ecstasy and despair, and a reaffirmation that eventually love wins over hate, good triumphs over evil, and that love, from a child or a woman, is a treasure worth fighting for.
James Crawford is also the author of Mariner Valley and Seed of Aldebaran, as well as works in other genres.
