After being mugged, beaten, and left for dead in the vast desert of the 1800's American West, Joseph finds himself reborn. The Arid Road Home is the incredible story of a boy who, after narrowly escaping an untimely death, sets off to discover the meaning of his life and the answers to some of life's most daunting questions.
When he first emerges from the dry, rugged wilderness he finds a town that welcomes him in ways innumerable. The generosity and kindness of those he encounters at first make a lost boy feel found. But his happiness is short-lived, and in his new comfort he grows unsettled, his heart urging him to seek his next adventure. So, leaving it all behind, he sets out once again into the desert to find his clarity, and his purpose.
Before long, Joseph discovers that in order to move closer to the answers he seeks, he must step into communion with the true, unforgiving wilderness - including that which lies within himself.
A testament to the transformative power of the wild, this hope-filled story of self-discovery will take you on a riveting adventure through life's most timeless challenges. Riddled with quiet wisdom and refreshing simplicity, Joseph's tale will remind you that life works in wonderful and mysterious ways.

J. P. Greene is an American novelist, poet, and short story writer. In 2018, following a divorce and the new agony of single fatherhood, he found a renewed sense of purpose in the craft of writing. His perspectives on love and relationships, his palpable adoration of the wilderness, and his lyrical poetry and prose quickly captured the attention and affection of readers around the world. Now, in his debut novel, readers have the pleasure of witnessing a beautiful saga of strength and persistence not unlike the author's own. It's told as a fable, simple and pure, intended from the first line to speak to anyone who's ever wondered who they are, or what destiny awaits them.J.P. currently lives at the base of the beautiful Colorado mountains with his small band of nature-loving children.
