Just when everything seems to look up, a young man’s life makes a sharp turn as he is forced to face an unexpected yet questionable burden. Author Jason Downes pens the story of Pony Fleming, a young Irish man who becomes a victim of fate’s twists and turns.
After eighteen months of being unemployed, John “Pony” Fleming is moving forward. Almost too easily, he gets a gatekeeper job at a local train station, earning more than what he expected. This stroke of luck calls for a celebration, so he decides to grab a few pints with his best pals, Gav and Anto. Life is good, family is great, and they are young and free—or so Pony thought.
Just then, Olivia, his former lover, calls and tells him that she is pregnant with his child.
Now caught in between a promising future and a responsibility he is not prepared to handle, Pony has a tough decision to make. His conscience would not allow him to abandon Olivia and their unborn child, but still, he is faced with a situation that would change his life forever.
However, a sudden twist of events might give Pony the freedom for which he desperately longs.
Imaginatively crafted yet truthfully depicting a man’s uncommon struggles, Pony Fleming is a novel of subtle drama and reality.
