Calling the Night

Trinity tires of waiting for her husband to notice her. Giving up her perfect life she returns home and enrolls in Stanford Medical School. An unexpected pregnancy threatens to end her dream before it gets off the ground. Red Cloud Petroleum, her husband Kit’s obsession, is in financial trouble because of fracking, the disputed process of extracting oil and gas from the earth that environmentalists think of as “the end of the world!”
When Kit’s father, Red Cloud’s CEO, fires him for insubordination, he takes a job on an offshore drilling platform in the Persian Gulf. Surviving a powerful cyclone and a stabbing with a switchblade, Kit begins a four-year-long journey into the Stabroek Bloch of Guyana. As President of Operations for Offshore Projects for Bronco Drilling, he oversees placement of deep-water drilling rigs. With each new rig in place his reputation and self-confidence grows exponentially. Upon the death of his father, Kit returns home prepared to finally take on directorship of Red Cloud Petroleum. The bitter cost of losing the love of his life prepares Kit to acknowledge and appreciate Trinity’s career as a physician and so is rewarded with the son he never knew he had!
