Description
When gadfly Dwight Trasor gleefully informs the Locura City Council that an unnamed park employee has molested a child, he wrecks havoc in the small city. Despite his well-earned reputation for trouble making, a claim like that can’t be ignored; it must be investigated, and quickly. With few details, and much disbelief, City Attorney Catherine Woods manages the investigation. While the city’s staff struggle to determine what – if anything – really happened, Dwight's teenage daughter Sally, far more involved than she wants to be, struggles with fallout from the revelation. But Catherine has a bigger problem. Her niece Emily has diagnosed herself with a nonexistent disease and left college to be healed by angels, at a cost she cannot possibly foresee. In the next ten days, all their lives are changed.
Like the vast majority of cities in the United States, the fictional Southern California city of Locura has the social and economic milieu of a large urban area, but a distinctly small town political scene. Its council members are not professional politicians but residents with full time jobs elsewhere; its staff is small enough that a department head knows – or thinks he knows – every employee under him; and a single comment to the City Council by a resident, even one who loves to cause problems, can have enormous impact. Told with sardonic humor, Before You Leap is a trenchant look into the world of local government, the result of action based upon preconception and bias, and the power of the internet to provide the information, both true and false, upon which people act.
