Author Tom Haikin proves that, in life, people get what they accept in Chet.
Tehachapi, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2007 -- Chet by author Tom Haikin is the story of a man who failed to see his own worth and consequently missed his mark in life.
In his book, Haikin reveals an atypical hero: a pleasant, decent, middle-aged man who has accepted the hand he has been dealt in life. Left by his wife after only five years of marriage, Chet lacks the motivation to improve his circumstances. Despite being completely overqualified, he maintains a mediocre position at a top accounting firm year after year.
One significant - yet insignificant - night, he takes a walk, slips, and dies in a very undignified manner. He meets his maker in a distinctly non-traditional setting, and he learns that he was supposed to be a "savior" of sorts during his lifetime. Through a number of interventions by souls who care about him, Chet finally fulfills his destiny by helping the last person he would have ever thought to look after. This act of compassion allows him the opportunity to remain where he is or to go back to Earth, and the decision is his for the making…
Chet began as a random and altogether "accidental" thought by the author, but it morphed into an unintended piece of literary brilliance. Oddly humorous and extraordinarily entertaining, Chet illustrates a simple truth: in order to get what one wants, one must ask for it.
