The Ragged Edge is about the slippery slope betwen sanity and schizophrenia. The story is about a young mans\'s struggle for normalcy after losing his two most prized possessions: His business where he had spent seven years as a workaholic building the company to be the largest of its kind in the area. The other was his wife of seven years, and maybe his mind, according to his psychairtrist.
This stubborn one-woman-man did take his psychiatrist\'s advice and his wife\'s which was to face the mirror and admit his problems. He readily admitted the miseries that had tormented him: his lower protruding jaw that hampered his speech thus relegating his personality to a frustrating, introverted one. Then there was his childhood poverty that resulted in his workaholic ways.
With heart pounding, and nothing left to lose, Cary formulated an attack on his inner self. He corrected his jaw problem by having a plastic surgeon cut out a half inch on his lower jaw on both sides. Then, gathering his confidence, he joined up with his neurotic brother who proved to him he had invented an auto engine that would propel the family car 100 miles on one gallon of gas. He takes the job as salesman and sells the invention to a group he thought was only a front for the oil companies. But the buyers found a flaw in the invention and demanded their eight millon dollars back or threatened to destroy the only two persons he had to live for: his baby son and the girl he loved.
This story is based on the authors own true story. He and the girl he comes to love, learn two of life\'s important lessons: they found they could only help themselves by helping others, and how to safely expel their rage, which was to write this book.
Chapter 21, The Disappearing Girl, is a true, spiritual, paranormal event like none ever published in the annals of history. A young girl comes to Cary and proceeds to make herself invisible and returns with a white, bright aura surrounding her head. She said she was pulled here from a light that enamated from the window where Cary had been saying his nightly prayers for the last two months.
