Stumbling Backasswards Into the Light

Book excerpt: From dark yesterday to bright tomorrow… When childhood is over, and adulthood tries to take hold, it all becomes too much for one overwhelmed young man. He sets out to find a place to give up once and for all, to lay his body down and let his wasted life drift away; instead he stumbles onto a whole new way of looking at the world. His new teacher calls him ‘Nobody’, and he can’t deny the truth in the name. A touching friendship unfolds as Nobody hears life and love being explained in a whole new way, and hope begins to burn in his heart as the poignant lessons etch themselves into his thinking. Their time together is a confusing chrysalis for Nobody. He wonders whether it is in him to burst forth a beautifully colored butterfly, as he is slowly transformed.
