For the sake of all others in his school, Dr. harold Martin , the principal, feels compelled to find out why. This is a town where both men and women have wrinkles surgically removed, where yacht owners paint over rust before selling their boats, and where home builders swap techniques for concealing stuctural flaws. Because Hal thinks teen suicide may be avoided by facing the rust, wrinkles and flaws in everyone, he investigates Jason's suicide and uncovers far too much, at great personal expense. But he can't stop.

Reader reviewsReviewer: William Flynn from USA
FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OTHERS was a wonderful read. A masterful blend
of mystery, suspense and real life drama. It is a rare talent that
can present an issue like teenage suicide co-mingled with blatant
school administration politics, a torrid love affair and the
justifications of a runaway wife. While doing this she brings the
reader to Australia and back. Cole's novel takes us from the
small town antics of seaside California to the expanse of the Outback
and the trip is one of intrigue. Throughout the book she keeps the
issue of the teenager's suicide questioned until finally the reason
comes forth to shock us. She handles community issues and love affairs
as well as John Updike did in his work of the 1960's, but adds a
modern twist for the modern reader.
"Just wanted to let you know I've been reading your novel.
Reading and reading and reading. It's outstanding. It puts me
through every emotion known to mankind. I've been crying and
laughing and crying. I can't put the book down."
JANICE STOLINOVICH
For the Sake of All Others by Evelyn Cole, Reviewer: Bettieshaw@austarnet from Mt Warren Park, Queensland Australia.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was enthralling and fast moving. The scenery
was spectacular and I particularly liked the inner torment as experienced by
Hal Martin. I could
visualize each character and scene and would recommend this book to any
reader of quality fiction. Good on ya Evy Cole
