Benjamin was as cursed as he was gifted. Endowed with an exceptional but eccentric mind, the Lumbee boy grew up in rural Robeson County--a North Carolina backwater with no hope for an aspiring writer.
Driven by a desire to become the literary voice of his generation, Benjamin hunts down his dream with the tenacity of a bloodhound. Shunned for his Native American background and sense of justice, Benjamin leaves his homeland to cross America, where he finds success, heartbreak, and a crisis of faith.
The question spreads before him like a will he be the master of his own destiny? Or will something more powerful drag him back to Robeson County?
Engrossing from beginning to end. Morehead takes you on a young man’s journey into the world, from small beginnings to grand goals and back again. Definitely a must read.
