Synopsis

Caught between family demands, social groups, and ostracized as a member of the religious "Holy Rollers", the author of AMERICAN ROBOT, balances on precarious razor edges of sacred edicts, genetic mental illnesses, and toxic social stress. Aaron Anthony Vessup boldly confronts opposing social and spiritual quandaries. This writer narrowly escapes police bullets, suicide, and institutionalization. Interracial fraternizing has proven dangerous. With unabashed frankness, the author takes readers on a transforming journey beyond America, between social class intersections, cultures, and lifestyles. Torn between the guilt of social "causes" inactivity and passions for justice, doing the "right thing" becomes increasingly problematic as mental haunts seem to prevail. This story highlights strategies for escape and survival.
