Synopsis

How do you escape a religious culture that suffocates the life out of you? How do you survive an emerging secular sub-culture where its liberties destroy you? The themes presented in this work of fiction are genuinely relevant for today. Enjoy this profound novel by the author of The SAVANT.

It is the late 1960s, and Robert Macon heads off to a small Christian college. Eager and hopeful, it is there that he expects to find friendship, love, and God. He could not have been more wrong. Instead, he meets a cruel, strict set of rules and forces that seem set against him. Excluded, confused, and longing for acceptance, he delves into the outrageous counterculture of flower-power and free-love. Ensnared between opposing worlds, Robert sets out on a spiritual journey in search of truth and integrity.

And it is the current day when a man haunted by the past returns to California to seek internal reconciliation. Instead, he is shocked to discover that choices he made years ago have born significant consequences. He now faces the biggest challenge of his life.

This novel is an in-depth look at cultural forces, both the religiously restrictive, and the wild hippy generation. Much of the story is set in the late 1960s, where you see various cultural paradigms at conflict with each other. Follow the journey of a young college student caught between these forces. All he wants is love and acceptance, but he faces rejection from the leaders of a controlling set of religious leaders who want to force him to conform to their rules and narrow beliefs. Then, take a look at the secular world and its emerging sub-culture of 'make love, not war, ' and its anti-war and anti-culture slogan of 'burn it down.' In this new emerging world, the rules and laws are tested, and just about anything goes. It opens the door to our modern world, where everyone becomes their own god and sets their own morality.

In the midst of this, a young student lacking maturity and social skills attempts to navigate his way through these forces, as he tries to find meaning in life. He seeks more profound answers by looking into various gods, as well as the God of the Bible and Christian faith. Then, see what happens many years later when he returns to California. Can he find answers to the ghosts that have haunted him?
