The Brink

Pat has always lived in the shadow of famous family members: a grandmother who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel in 1910; an uncle who was almost an Olympic pole vaulter if the 1940 Olympics hadn't been cancelled and then a survivor of a Japanese POW camp; and a notorious wild-child of a mother. And yet, even as mankind stands poised to walk on the moon, and the world is on the brink of an explosion of technology, Pat can't seem to gather the courage to make any kind of leap at all. Is trying to save the family print shop from extinction enough of a life, or should she take the advice of an American soldier hiding out from the Vietnam war and finally step over the brink to something different? div.
