THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF OPTIMISM

About the Book

Faith is difficult to find for some, and for a dyslexic orphan and an ADHD “ladies man”, it can almost be impossible. Eventually GOD’S mercy is realized by all and usually just in time.

This is a story of one man & one woman’s journey to salvation and the detour they take to find their faith. Followed from town to town by their lack of conviction and misunderstanding of GOD, it is with some grief that they reach their destination.

Mara has decided to follow Lucas into the unknown. And unknown to Lucas, she has also fallen in love with him. But she has a strange dysfunctional way of showing it. With her new zeal for finding her faith and falling in love, their road trip is blurred to say the least.

What Lucas didn’t have in mind when he left his hometown was losing his best friend and finding his worst nightmare. A higher power is his only deliverance from this misadventure.

As the duo makes their way from Brownsville, Texas to Seattle, Washington they are deposited in Las Vegas. And where better a place to find the most sin and salvation?

Each chapter is preceded by a Bible scripture that can be read before starting the next story line to better understand our Almighty Lord GOD. And you will need it.
