Sandy Garnett's debut book derives from the long lost 500 page
handwritten journal he kept during his four month stint in a New
England rehab and a halfway house in Mesa, Arizona, the summer
after his freshman year at St. Lawrence University in upstate New
York. Baloney Express documents the coming of age story of a
19-year-old in trouble. On the horizon of this desert walkabout
appears a wise, weathered cowboy oilman, who helps Garnett to see
clearly, live simply, staighten his life out and pursue his dream
of making art for a living. Ripe with ruthless self-discovery and
observational wit as the journal writer grows deeply through this
life changing experience, 'Baloney' reaches well beyond the pale of
traditional recovery literature into the labyrinthian corridors of
contemporary adolescence, whose archetypal mentors shine the best
of their lives forward. The author's passage from a
self-destructive college freshman to a healthy son, brother and
ambitious young artist underscores this uplifting story while
exploring the resilience of a decent family, whose trials and
tribulations are a testament to the rangy, stubborn optimism that
echoes and carries the American spirit.
