‘Going Home’ unravels a man’s struggles as he tries to make his way home in a new reality, one of no power, no infrastructure and no help.
Lenoir, NC (PRWEB) January 10, 2013
Author A. American brings the world that could be to life in his book, Going Home. The internet sensation, with over one million online views, is being brought to print. In a world where all the things we take for granted suddenly cease to exist, one man must find his way across more than two hundred and fifty miles to make it back to his family. This anthology unravels one man’s odyssey through the cities, towns, woods and wilds of Florida. It also chronicles the trials and tribulations of day to day survival in a world without modern convenience and people’s attempt in dealing with it.
The story revolves around Morgan Carter and his travels and seemingly insurmountable odds. After completing a business trip to Tallahassee, he is ready to get home and start his weekend. However he discovers fate has a different plan for him, which will change his life forever. Morgan tries to suffice all the limited resources that he has to go back to his family but he realizes that home is too far from where he is. This is where he will meet Thad, who appears formidable and threatening, but turns out to be a true friend and asset to Morgan. Along their way, they will also meet Jess, a young twenty something woman who also wants to go home. The three of them will help each other survive the tumultuous journey to go back to their family and loved ones. Sarge is the last character they’ll meet, a hardcore retired first sergeant of the army; he will provide an oasis of peace and safety in Morgan and his friends’ desperate search for solitude and security.
AA aims to present a story that offers myriad of thoughts that will convey a striking inventory of a man, and his relationship with his family, with himself and just how far he is willing to go. Going Home is bound to inspire readers with every turn of the page. It’s a peek into what life could be like without all the trappings of technology people are used to. A story of hope, love and above all, survival, this anthology depicts how a man survives loneliness, grief and pain while trying to get back to them. Every day, every moment, presents decisions that must be made in the blink of an eye, life and sometimes death, ride on the outcome. With its assemblage of unforgettable characters portraying different roles that stir a memorable drama, the book will let readers realize that having a family is the greatest gift life has to offer.
