The Power of Love

Synopsis

As the title implies, The Power of Love: Be Receptive to Unknown Sources, by Marlow "Red" Severson, is fictional testimony to the healing ability of love, above and beyond the realm of medical science.

The story begins with the Kegger Blast, a rite of passage organized by the senior "in" group of a Minnesota high school that celebrates the upcoming graduation ceremonies. With forbidden antics on the annual agenda, the Kegger Blast is supposed to be a bawdy, but fun, time for all. But suddenly, everything seems to go wrong.

When one of the injured kids turns out to be class president, star football player, and popular student Tim Stenson, all attention is turned to him.

Author Severson's sensitive treatment of Tim's situation (he lies in a coma) is admirably complemented by his analysis of how medical treatment is buoyed by the love of family members and friends, and how The Power of Love can truly overcome even the most difficult of obstacles.
