Hitch a ride with JW Palmer on a journey of love, joy, pain and
awakening, as he rides his bicycle alone across the heartland of
America. Bewildered by the blur of events -- two years in Vietnam,
four years in college, and six in a mind-numbing marriage -- he was
suffering from PTSD. As his wheels turn, he untangles his mind and
emotions one revolution at a time. Through a succession of
vignettes we get to peer into his soul, as he struggles to evolve
within the chrysalis of the '70s. Disillusioned after finishing
college in 1974, he and his wife split up and he went looking for
answers. As he fights his mind, the wind and the terrain, he meets
the amazing people and animals who live in the middle of the
country. People are interested in his story, and the shy poet
evolves into a skilled storyteller, telling them about his trip and
us about his search for the light at the end of the tunnel, as he
finds out that the light he is looking for is within ...blazing
away like the sun shining at midnight. About the Author: Originally
from Richmond, Indiana, Alan Joseph Parker now lives in Portland,
Oregon. "I wrote my first poem in 1968 sitting on a rock in Vietnam
watching the full harvest moon rise through scattered clouds over
the mountains, and feeling at peace in the middle of the war. I
have been writing ever since. I have hundreds of poems but this is
my first novel." Publisher's website:
