Doing Business As Kevin Templeton is a coming of age story that finds our main character trapped in a courtroom drama that lingers on the verge of a thriller. The narrator Kiley Riley, Kevin’s foster sister, will guide you through Kevin’s past to the present.
Kiley and Kevin both started their lives off in separate orphanages, only later to be swept up by the foster system. Kevin spent his younger years escaping the abuse of one foster family after another and when he was on the run, he spent time on the streets as a “streetpreneur.” At least, that is what Kevin calls himself. Kiley only fared slightly better than Kevin, though she never had to live on the street. Life in the foster realm was no picnic until Kevin entered her life.
Their first introduction was short-lived because trouble has a way of catching up with Kevin, even if he is not the one instigating his legal woes. It was not until they both landed at Mabel’s home did they grow and become family. But Kevin’s propensity for trouble would often derail his plans to live a life apart from the one given him. These skirmishes with the law finally catapult him into a courtroom battle that could mean a long prison sentence for insurance fraud. Meanwhile, a scrupulous FBI agent believes Kevin is responsible for more than the corrupt nature of a white collar crime. When eight missing members of Kevin's permanent foster family and five mysterious deaths leave agent Sharon Alverson's special senses tingling. She refuses to believe Kevin is a mild-mannered citizen and a victim of identity theft.
Over the years Kiley has learned the ins and outs of law, becoming a lawyer, but recognizing that she is too close to Kevin to represent him legally this means she has to rely on the talents of Artisan Caine to free Kevin from a retribution she believes he does not deserve.
The question: Who is Kevin Templeton?
Con Artist? Scammer? Street Hustler? Schemer? Or! Just maybe he is hiding something even darker, more sinister.
Then again, Kevin Templeton may just be trying to make things right. A good guy just trying to overcome a life of trouble after growing up in foster homes and, in between those foster homes, short stints living on the streets. Perhaps he is a successful businessman and philanthropist. Could it be true? That behind every dark cloud is a silver lining. Do we have to be labeled a product of our childhood?
Suzanne Snow knows that her patient is running out of time, but how much of herself is she willing to give? "Why a psychiatrist and not a rocket scientist?"
"The brain, in a way, is more complex, and space seems so unattainable. Sure, we can send rockets into outer space, but once we get there, you are so limited. And living in such a tiny living space would cramp my style."
"So, what was so dark about your choice?"
"I do not normally tell this to my patients, but since you and I have shared human subjugation by an unopposed force... Something few will ever experience and survive to talk about." Suzanne took a breath, as if to reminisce about our recent ordeal.
"Sounds like you are preparing to drop a bomb on me."
"When I was eleven, almost twelve, I experienced a horrible transition through puberty. I felt as though life had given me a raw deal. I also had a friend and we would feed off each other's misery. Eventually, this led to us making a horrible decision that haunts me to this day." She stopped.
"You just keep on giving, don't cha. How did you shake the shadow of death?"
"A lot of time is spent focusing on reasons why we don't want to live, but all it takes is that one reason why we should keep on living." Doctor Suzanne Snow answered. - Killing Myself - Traversing Minds Stars Here - Do Not judge this book by its title!
