The Transition A Novel of Promise, Pitfalls, Perseverance, and Passion
Gene Hewett
(Author)
Description
The Transition reads like a journey of a young man toward his academic
and career goals. In many ways, the journey can be characterized
as semiautobiographical. Several aspects of the childhood to
adolescence to adulthood saga may be fictional. However, many
aspects of the journey are factual and historical. Intertwined between
the storylines is an evolving collage of early protest scenarios and
romantic experiences framed in poetic style. In many ways, the
collection represents an autobiographical sketch in romance. It begins
by providing snapshots of the author's early relationships and evolves
to romantic accounts experienced in adulthood.
The Transition features thirteen premium royalty-free images.
The Transition has a traditional table of contents, a second one,
titled "Musical Inspiration" (which includes QR Codes), and a third,
titled "Photographic Images." The thirteen images are presented at
the beginning and end of each of the six chapters. Including the
cover, thirteen images were selected from Getty Images and iStock
photographic resources on the www.istockphoto.com website.
In the short run, the author envisions that the collection will be
made available in electronic, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook
forms. In the long run, the author anticipates that it might be possible
to package the saga into a Hollywood movie production.

About the Author
Reviews
Judge, 28th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards
Gene Hewett's words shine on the page. He is clearly an intelligent individual with countless stories to tell and a creative and emotive way of telling them. Throughout the book, Hewett integrates poetry, news reports, college schedules and bulleted summaries. The variety adds depth, especially in the chapter about the 1965 riots.
The narrator shares information about the Watts Riots from the viewpoint of an intelligent, engaged observer at home with his mother. The news reports set the stage while the poetry lends emotional and insightful weight to the historical event. This was my favorite part of the book and seemed especially poignant in light of current events. I think the author could expand on many of the ideas touched upon in this chapter and create some really important context for people today.
Also, the scene with the break-in was crafted so well that I felt like I could see the events unfold before me as if on a screen.
