What will you do when tragedy enters your life? It could be personal like the loss of a spouse or national like a hurricane or 911. Will the fear that comes up with it control your life? Or do you possess the attitudes and skills to push through, to bounce back, to be resilient.
And what will we do as a nation when attacked again? Will we return to the politics of fear, attacking others whom we see as not with us because they are of a different race or religion? Do we as a nation have the resilience to manage adversity without sacrificing our core values and beliefs?
Reaching Home is about conquering fear. It is a story of resilience, of bouncing back from adversity. It is about people thinking again about their lives and the issues confronting their society. It is the story of one person’s struggle to create a place for himself, a home, in a world being increasingly controlled by fear. The novel deals with many of the challenges facing our society today such as the fight against terrorism and the struggle to preserve human rights. But it is a story written with humor. It has a love story and its fast paced. A fun read but a serious one.
