Synopsis

Tripio is historical fiction. The setting is Chicago summer of 1992. Jay Altonstreet is trying to climb the corporate ladder at a small but growing company called Starbucks. Jay left his stalled life in Dayton in 1990 and has been trying to finish his first novel for the last three years. But an unplanned, high risk pregnancy of his lover and co-worker forces him to decide which of these creations is the most valuable to him: a company, a novel, or a family. Jay lives alone in a small apartment in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. He’s working on his first novel and working at one of the first Starbucks in Chicago, when a romance with a fellow employee develops. Jay is conflicted. He’s dreamed of living the Bohemian life of a writer since adolescence. But Starbucks is pulling him deeper into corporate culture and a once in a lifetime opportunity is on the horizon – the opportunity to participate in the Starbucks IPO. A further complication is that Jay is attracted to an engaging and beautiful coworker. Jay knows that he has no time for romantic entanglements, especially with an employee, but ... He can’t help it. They fall in love and Kati moves in with him. Four months later Kati and Jay have to deal with a high risk pregnancy. Tripio explores three types of creativity, business, literature, and family. Jay is forced to prioritize these endeavors and to decide what he most values.
