"While
living in my state, anyone would be aware of Autism Spectrum Disorder,
Asperger's Syndrome, or pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). New Jersey
rates of Autism are exceedingly high, but this state has managed to create
amazing strides within the Autistic community including schools, residential
assistance, and employment. Thus, it was
an easy task to connect the necessity of a job coach position into my fictional
story that involves a member of the community with Asperger’s Syndrome.
In
Revenge, while not the main character, Bobby Havers does have an integral
starring role and there are several chapters where his symptoms are brought to
the forefront in an interesting and positive way.
Bobby
Havers was working and doing exceedingly well in a long-term placement until
management changed and some claims of Bobby’s mistakes multiply. Olivia Foster has tried to speak with the new
manager on several occasions but had been rebuffed due to the manager’s meeting
schedule. However, when merchandise goes
missing, it was assumed Bobby mistakenly added the materials received that had
not been, but Olivia was able to match up receipts and invoices disproving that
claim.

However,
once Bobby disappears, the job coach’s employer ends her position and adds her
to the suspect list, but when Bobby remains in contact with the job coach,
Detective Lt. Phillip Landon is left with a more complex case than he had at
the beginning of this disappearance. Whoever has abducted Bobby Havers knows
Olivia Foster, and despite her protestations, this theory becomes solidified by
the death of her special needs brother in a workplace environment from years
ago. Phillip’s only problem is to find
out how the two cases connect and doing it before something happens to Bobby
Havers while the job coach becomes the next target, but she makes plans to
bring the missing young man home.
Can
he keep Olivia safe, protect his heart, remove the job coach from someone’s
target list, and adopt a faith he never knew all while adjusting to the new
lives of his old family?"
