The Seasons of the Flynns
In 1960s America, traditional values are giving way to new perspectives on love, politics, and women’s place in society. Against this turbulent backdrop, The Seasons of the Flynns charts the intertwined fates of Sara Michaels, a college student set on an acting career, and Bob Flynn, a young Bostonian struggling to emerge from the shadow of a domineering father.

Having married and found a home in the suburbs of New York, Sara and Bob seem settled on a conventional course in life. But they soon find their union troubled by unresolved questions about who they are and what they want for themselves. Can Bob stay committed to his young wife and his corporate law job while more exotic possibilities beckon? Will Sara have to trade her dream of a life in the theater for the role of suburban wife and helpmate? As they struggle with these quandaries, their lives are transformed in ways that reflect the changes roiling the society around them.

Steven Gleason
Local author Steven Gleason took up fiction writing after a decades-long career in international affairs. He published a novella, “Carmen’s Passion,” in December 2022. His first full-length novel, “The Seasons of the Flynns,” appeared in March 2024.
A graduate of McGill University and NYU, Gleason lived for many years in New York City while traveling widely for business and pleasure. In retirement he returned to his native New England, where he enjoys reading, cooking and outdoor sports when not engaged in his second career of writing fiction.
