Thirty-seven-year-old John Morgan's personal life is already in
disarray when he receives a phone call that his brother and niece
are dead. His relationship with his father is nearly nonexistent,
he barely speaks to his sister, and he has no real friends to lean
on. As the tragic news slowly begins to sink in, John realizes he
is floating aimlessly in the middle of an unpredictable sea of
emotions with no one to rescue him. Lost in his childhood memories,
regrets, and grief, John begins to reevaluate his life, his
relationships, and why he has trouble connecting with-and even
loving-others. As he attempts to regain the happiness that was
stolen from him when his father rejected him over his writing, John
begins a painstaking journey to climb out of the depths of despair.
But it is only a matter of time before his past catches up with him
and forces him to face all of the realities in his life. In this
compelling tale that movingly illustrates the devastating effects
of a dysfunctional family, John must learn to change what he can,
accept what he cannot, and make the difficult decision to leave
some things behind.
