"A wonderfully unique display of spirituality ... a journey of love, despair, joy, laughter, and yes, a few tears. A book you'll want to tell others about." - Letetia (Tish) Henley Kirk, author, Taking Care of Elvis
Raised as a church-going Southern boy, Ben heads to Chicago to make a name for himself. And he does, though not all of the names are good ones.
He makes it big: Fame. Fortune. A beautiful pregnant wife. But along the way, he loses something.
Himself.
And when tragedy and fate deliver a one-two punch, he loses everything he'd so carefully cultivated in his personal and professional lives.
Can he find his way back to a life of faith and hope with the help of two loyal friends?
After returning to his Southern roots, will Ben ever be able to live for something bigger than himself? Or will mistakes from his past block his way?
