A story of love, adventure, loss, pain... and meltdown. Max Wheeler is a successful television foreign correspondent. But a series of events leads him to examine his life as he experiences a voyage of self-discovery. "Melting" is a novel that has general appeal, but the "boomer" generation will particularly respond to this work that captures the zeitgeist and describes what it's like for a man in America today as he approaches his sixty-year crossroads.
