A Long Way Home A Book By Michael Modzelewski

by Michael Modzelewski

A famous lost Hollywood actor learns the meaning of life through a native African girl. Watch the cinematic book trailer Once upon a time, very recently, a native African girl lived in a tree. No just any tree. It was the mother of all trees, two thousand years ancient, massive in girth, with bark like the wrinkled hide of an old elephant, and a canopy of limbs spiky and twisted. Legend has it that God did not like the baobab growing in his garden, so he plucked it out and threw it over the wall of Paradise. It fell onto the Earth below, upside down, and continued growing that way, to this day. The girl lived inside a hollow in the giant tree -- an outcast of her own choosing, with special gifts including the ability to talk to the animals. One day, a troubled boy came to her from another world, and the girl, the tree, and Africa changed him forever. This is their story. "Michael Modzelewski's new book is an epic, reality-flipping story that illuminates the pivotal 'less is more' precept. High definition scenes offer incredible visuals and harrowing drama as Leo and Binti journey through the African bush on a quest to bring Leo home. The story is as truth searing as the landscape they travel through!" -- Susan Conrad, author of One Woman's Journey Through the Inside Passage "A Long Way Home ranges far deeper than just surviving a trek across the huge sand dunes of the Namib Desert in Africa. Through adventurous discoveries, it forces a questioning of one's life and also questions the pure essence of what is truly living." -- James A. Martin, photographer and author of The Islands of San Francisco Bay "This spell-binding spiritual quest roars with magical adventures. If Tarzan has a daughter, she would be Binti, who beguiles while she inspires with wise revelations of astounding treasures still hidden in the vast hinterlands of Africa. Michael Modzelewski masterfully ignites wonder while inviting us to live our wildest dreams and reconsider our true purpose upon this earth." -- Happy Oasis, author of Bliss Conscious Communications and Uncivilized Ecstasies "In this engaging new novel, Michael Modzelewski shows us the difference between image, fame, and fortune and a good life, simpler, close to nature, with strong human connections. Lost in an African desert, Leo is desperate to be saved and returned to his life in Hollywood. He is rescued by a girl and a hyena but in a different, magical, and totally unexpected way that challenges the reader's values and desires. Read it and think. It's a life changer!" -- John de Graaf, co-author of The All-Consuming Epidemic "A famous, lost Hollywood actor learns the meaning of life from a native African girl. Read and reap!" -- Paula Grecco, author of From Zero to Hero
