It is New York City, August 1979. After
eight years of exile in Sweden, David
Dolan, Jr., draft dodger and antiwar activ-
ist of some notoriety a decade earlier,
passes through United States customs
and into a vastly altered world. In a dingy
room in the once grand Chelsea Hotel, he
writes three words on the back of a used
envelope: jail, family, job David
Dolan has come home to pick up the
pieces.
Fault Lines is the newest work by the
author of the best-selling Mortal Friends.
Rich in theme, broad in moral vision,
FaultLines is a deeply involving tale of
two men and a woman seeking to redeem
the present by atoning for the past, and of
the child who stands at dead center of
their desperately sincere attempts.
Having escaped induction into the ser-
vice with the help of his younger brother,
Brendan, Dolan has returned to the
states to exorcise the recurring night-
mare of Iris brother s death in Vietnam,
and to make peace with Brendan s wife,
Eddie, who bore Brendan s son after his
death.
In the first months of grief and rage
after the telegram came from Vietnam,
Eddie wrote a slick novel called Quick
Study, which proved a commercial suc-
cess and was made into a movie. On the
set in Hollywood, she met the glamor-
ous leading man, Cheney McCoy, and
was swept off her feet by his charm and
sensitivity. They married and Eddie al-
lowed Cheney to adopt Bren, to whom he
had become deeply attached.
