Thy Will Be Done

An over 26,000 word fast but true track into the heart and soul of the reader's mind. By way of Marshall, Wynn's principal character in "Thy Will Be Done", the reader is taken through the annals of a mischievous child to that of a deeply dark and troubled adult. A touch of just the right amount of comedic relief allows us to laugh and stay in touch with the true nature of Marshall who begs us to emphathize with his true self. As difficult as it appears to be, we learn that not a lot of needling is necessary to gain our support. Wynn reminds us of his stark and uncomprimising humor found in "The Big Sale" and "A Different Kind of Patriot" when he tells us about one of Marshall's occupations during early adulthood. Having a somewhat artistic bent all of his life, Marshall develops an affinity for Texas road kill - About the most unlikely subject matter an artist might choose as a favorite medium. But, choose it he did, and to the surprise of most around him, it worked. The mangled bodies peeled off remote highways of animal and bird life took on an almost magical and eerie pathos as the desryed bodies slowly made the journey from bitter beginnings enroute to becoming a true work of art. If he had any doubters, all it took was a visit to his work studio to prove differently.
Guns or roses were just as likely to typify the mood of Marshall on any given day. When Wynn has wrapped "Thy Will Be Done" he leaves us with an unusual combination of emotions but dissatisfaction is not one of them. Wynn also allows us a peek through a window into his personal soul by revealing his life long battle with alcoholism. For those whose life has not been touched by alcohol and drugs, his experience is explained so clearly that it is near impossible that a reader could be left without a footprint of fear when considering the treachery and depravity introduced into the lives of those who allow themselves even a little more than a passing aquaintance with alcohol and drugs. In "Thy Will Be Done", Wynn takes us on a journey through youth,friendship, addiction, hope and redemption through recovery.
