About the Book

The history of the United States of America is a patchwork of stories experienced and told by many over the years of the Republic. The stories although universal for what America has represented to different groups (hope, renewal or opportunity) are not the same in every case. My story is a variation on the theme. The child of single mother of fi ve; who left behind all that was known to them, was a choice taken for him. Through circumstances out his control after unexpected events of his life the child goes on a quest to fi nd himself and discovers so much more. The journey is on going.
