Safe to Say tells a story about the burden of expectations and the salvation of love.
A major corporation sets the backdrop for the novel. There are insights into the powerful and powerless and the conflicts between and among them, but the heart of the story is a compassionate and deep immersion into the main characters—a young man raised by his strong willed father in the farm country of Upstate New York, and a young woman raised by her strong willed Dominican mother in Jersey City, New Jersey. The contrast between these characters and their backgrounds highlights the universal truths of love and integrity, while their triumphs and setbacks play out amid circumstances that could break them or strengthen and bind them forever.
Along the way are suspense, humor and some important lessons for corporate survival.
