Chapter 21

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU

After three weeks of writing David’s novel, Whitaker made the final decision to quit his job. He didn’t tell anyone but Claire the news. He still had royalty checks from Napalm Trees coming in and a few last stocks he could sell; plus Claire had given him 20 percent of her promised offer. It wasn’t possible to continue trying to help people invest when all Whitaker cared about was the written word.

He looked at his decision like there was no better way to invest the rest of his money other than in his dream, a dream that he’d already proved lucrative in the past. He hadn’t hinted about the project to his agent yet, because he wanted to see how the ending came out, but he knew he would be all over it. Same for the publishers.

Whitaker didn’t have time for a day job anyway, even if it was less demanding than the one his father had offered. Writing this novel was taking everything he had, demanding countless hours of editing and polishing, plus tons of research. He’d built a small network of experts in the foster care world who’d welcomed his questions either by phone or over a cup of coffee, and something was happening that he hadn’t anticipated. The knowledge he was gaining was sure to give Saving Orlando an air of authenticity, but his motivation to learn had grown beyond the project. With each heartbreaking story he heard, he felt increasingly attracted to the cause of helping these children and knew he’d be involved one way or another long after this book hit the shelves.
