She had wanted to make a change in their lives to make them better people. This story raises the psychological question of nature versus nurture. Can people really change the fundamental part of themselves? It delves deeply into backgrounds of Flynn, George, and Riccardo in order to find out why they became the people they are. What would it take to induce them to change? It also looks at the role post-traumatic stress disorder can have on the life of an individual. All three are alpha-type males. As in a pride of lions, there can be only one alpha unless their abilities are so different that they can respect each other for their individual skills.

It is also a story of deep and abiding love and the ability of the human spirit to rise above life’s tragic influences and find a new beginning.
