Have you ever been in love?
What is it you fear? Growing up? Growing old? Death? Life?
Is it too late?

Youd assume that a book called The Power of Balance would, first and foremost, be about balance. A reasonable assumption. But, as you probably know by now, not all reasonable assumptions are correct, and the truth is this book has very little to do with balance.

What does it have to do with? Thats what John Penatucci, onetime pop musician, one-hit literary wonder, and second-rate college English teacher, finds himself wondering as hes held hostage by an enigmatic woman who identifies herself only as the Driver. As their journey progresses and he recalls some of the central moments and relationships of his life, it appears that what its all about is for the Driver to know and for him to find out.

Alternating between past and present, pathos and humor, dream and reality, The Power of Balance does turn out to have something vaguely to do with, of all things, balance. But its more about love. And going home.
