Hitch a ride with JW Palmer on a journey of love, joy, pain and awakening, as he rides his bicycle alone across the heartland of America. Bewildered by the blur of events -- two years in Vietnam, four years in college, and six in a mind-numbing marriage -- he was suffering from PTSD. As his wheels turn, he untangles his mind and emotions one revolution at a time. Through a succession of vignettes we get to peer into his soul, as he struggles to evolve within the chrysalis of the ’70s. Disillusioned after finishing college in 1974, he and his wife split up and he went looking for answers. As he fights his mind, the wind and the terrain, he meets the amazing people and animals who live in the middle of the country. People are interested in his story, and the shy poet evolves into a skilled storyteller, telling them about his trip and us about his search for the light at the end of the tunnel, as he finds out that the light he is looking for is within ... blazing away like the sun shining at midnight. About the Author: Originally from Richmond, Indiana, Alan Joseph Parker now lives in Portland, Oregon. 'I wrote my first poem in 1968 sitting on a rock in Vietnam watching the full harvest moon rise through scattered clouds over the mountains, and feeling at peace in the middle of the war. I have been writing ever since. I have hundreds of poems but this is my first novel.'Publisher’s website: http://www.sbpra.com/AlanJosephParker
