"Tear" by Hillel Ramirez
Inspired by the realism invoked in many of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novels and Ernest Hemingway’s work, Hillel Ramirez penned “Tear” (ISBN 1456584871), a novel that attempts to explain the struggles many of us encounter during our lives.
Joaquin Weitzmann is one of three children born to Santiago, a less-than-encouraging father, and Delores, who possesses the maternal instincts of a tin can. With an unsupportive family and Cuban-Jewish heritage, Joaquin has always struggled to fit in and feel confident. A move from a Harvard hospital in Boston to Los Angeles opens new opportunities for Joaquin and his fiancée to leave behind a life of family drama and start fresh with a blossoming medical career.
His happiness and escape from dysfunction, however, are threatened as medical ailments affect Santiago, and disturbing discoveries are made concerning Delores’s handling of the family’s finances. Joaquin walks the tightrope between hope and fear, altruism and self-preservation, motivation and rage as he is violently pulled back into the dysfunctional crosshairs of secrets and lies that is the Weitzmann family.
In “Tear,” Joaquin faces his own issues with self-acceptance and unrequited love from his parents in order to be a better father with his wife, Betty. The author uses Joaquin as an example of being true to oneself, regardless of the obstacles faced and the easier roads offered along the way. Readers will witness the heartbreaking process of reliving the past, as it threatens to either destroy or provide Joaquin with a new path as he journeys into a new career and role as a father.
Ramirez balances humor with the seriousness of “Tear” to provide insight into the struggles one faces in life, especially while growing up and becoming a parent. This psychological thriller attempts to show how outside forces can threaten one’s potential, and how hard it can be to leave negativity behind.
“Tear” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
