An American Prayer

About the Book

An American Prayer is an autobiographical novel, inspired by Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. The book is a wistful recollection of the author’s summer of 1980, fresh out of college, adrift and aimless in Europe.  It’s about finding yourself and finding a voice, growing up and moving on, and the passing of the ’60s generation with the death of John Lennon in New York.
