The Odyssey of a Heart

ODYSSEY (noun): An extended wandering or journey. Set within the conservative religious subculture of the Amish, The Odyssey of a Heart is a searing examination of the author's heart as he struggles with intense doubt and fear brought on by his own youthful insecurities. Fueling his anger and confusion is a double standard born of an eroding conscience. At a young age he compromises the convictions of his heart and is inevitably drawn into a pool of moral ambiguity. Choosing to live solely from the mind, he is ultimately forced to confront the result of his many decisions - a rapid downward spiral into the dark underworld of drug abuse. Written with authority and compassion, Odyssey is a piercing call to defy the destructive tendencies that lie within all of us, and to live from a deep and full heart.
