Based on the events of 9/11. Clarence Taylor is the son of wealthy parents living in Bangor, Maine, with strong ties to a community of old money. Yet, he does not fit in and harbors a deep resentment for the attitude that seems inherent in opulence. After witnessing the events of nine eleven, he makes a vow to himself to make a difference. But as he prepares to confront the evil he has sworn to eliminate, he meets Gloria. She is everything that any man would want in a woman, yet when their passions collide, each becomes trapped by their own emotional conflicts. Now, while set about on his personal mission, a split second lapse in judgment tears him away from everything he knew, including Gloria.
Written as a journal, this is the story of Private Clarence Taylor. He is an educated young man who holds a promising, secure future and knows the risks of putting his life on hold. But the real lesson is in learning how to cope with some of life's biggest, mistakes, and that some things can never be undone.
