Committed

About the Book

Life is supposed to be a mixture of good times and bad. However, things don't always work out that way. Sometimes, there are periods in our lives where everything goes wrong, and just when it seems things couldn't possibly get worse, they do.

Tyler Patterson, a middle-aged Stanford-educated attorney, is experiencing such a time in his life. Through a series of disastrous events, unscrupulous partners and corrupt politicians have stripped him of everything he worked a lifetime to achieve: his career, his possessions, even his reputation. Tyler's life plummets further as he is involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward.

However, these incidents also launch Tyler on a personal odyssey through a world of odd, sometimes humorous, sometimes dangerous, characters, experiences, and events: each one offering an unexpected lesson about life and its meaning.

Tyler soon discovers that he isn't alone on his journey, making the outcome anything but certain, and the stakes nothing less than Tyler's own life or death.
