Facing the Current

About the Book

Terry James' odyssey begins when he falls for a young colleague. After his wife, and then his boss, finds him in less than desirable circumstances, Terry opts for a change of scenery.

At his mother's urging Terry drives to a quiet fishing resort on the White River in rural Arkansas. What starts out as a weekend of fishing and relaxation, becomes a soul-searching journey as Terry comes to terms with his life through a series of quick-paced and darkly humorous adventures.

Unable to predict the twists and turns of life's swift moving current, Terry struggles to keep his balance as he continues to tumble out of control. Through self-healing and learning the secrets of the river, Terry discovers hidden truths that change him forever.

Terry's story is told with a deep understanding of the human condition, charged with a tumultuous undercurrent of love, humor, friendship and adventure.
