Thirty Two Miles to Paradise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781497571204)

Denver Williams. Suburban junkie. Lost in the mundane and swallowed by his own confused sense of self, Denver Williams has been living the life of a functioning heroin addict for years. He is adrift, taking as few steps as possible to simply maintain the unattached status of his mediocre life. Work. High. Work. High. The cycle is endless. But there is a release, a place to lose perspective of the world at large. This place is the hardwood forests of the North Georgia foothills. Embarking on a weekend trip to get lost in the watchful serenity of the woods, Denver loads his gear: tent, sleeping bag, backpack...and his ever-present shooting kit of needles and dope. Equally adrift, albeit in their own unique way, Anna Aleppo and Nathan Roth are two unattached music festival goers who have been rolling like human tumbleweed across the nation, and through the random pushing of fate, their paths cross with that of Denver's. Like-minded yet profoundly different, the trio hit it off and decide to make a weekend of it. Overcoming his original need for solitude, Denver embraces the situation for what it is, and prepares for a weekend of the unexpected. Little does he know that what has started in this chance meeting will end up pushing him to the very brink of his very existence. Fast-paced and deeply visual, Thirty Two Miles to Paradise is the story of one young man's journey to the depths of nothing, a story in which demons must be faced, and the muted realities of his own self must be conquered. Change is inevitable. Its cost is high. Its price must be paid.
