This is part one of a memoir, wherein Rhett reveals his origins, early childhood, life in a boarding school, and service in the army. He came out of military service with a better understanding of what it means to love God. He shares with the reader his long-awaited reunion with his Dad; travel writing; discovering the USA and hitchhiking all across America. These experiences were his way of dealing with unemployment and became the Holy One’s tool of disillusionment to bring Rhett to a place of inner peace. This memoir is sure to be an antidote to the world’s poison, as he also talks about his homelessness; international travels; getting married and divorced; rejoining the army. Not to be outdone by his own tragedies, he concludes with the success of connecting with his aunt’s university thesis, which led him back to his former wife and out of the depths of recycled sadness. This is a tale of how Jesus’ power is made perfect in our weakness.
